Question

A rope is cut into 12 equal pieces. If the total length of the rope is 54 m 72 cm, then
what will be the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 m 56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 metre = 100 cm

so 4 metres = 54×100 =5400 cm

54m + 72cm

= (5400 + 72)cm

= 5472 cm

length of rope in cm is 5472 cm

12 equal pieces

= length of rope ÷ 12

= 5472 ÷ 12

= 456 cm

to convert into metres

(400 + 56) cm

= 4m 56cm
