Question

A rope of length 8⅓m is cut into 5 pieces of equal length. Find the length of each piece

Answer 1

Answer:

length of each piece is 1 2/3 m answer

Answer 2

Answer:

If a rope of length $8\frac{1}{3}$is divided into 5 equal pieces, then the length if each piece is 5/3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rope of the length =

$8\frac{1}{3} \\\\=\frac{(8*3+1)}{3} \\\\=\frac{24+1}{3} \\\\=\frac{25}{3}$

So, the length of the rope is 25/3 m

Given that it is divided into 5 equal pieces.

Then, the length of each piece$=\frac{\frac{25}{3}}{5} \\\\=\frac{25}{15} \\\\=\frac{5}{3}$

So the length of each piece is 5/3m
