Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A satin ribbon 7 1/2 m long was cut into 5 equal parts .

To find:-

Find the length of each part ?

Solution:-

Total length of the satin ribbon

= 7 1/2 m

= 15/2 m

If it is cut into pieces,

Total number of equal parts = 5

Length of the each part

= Total length / Number of cutting pieces

= (15/2)/5

= 15/(2×5)

=15/10

=3/2 m

=1 1/2 m

= 1.5 m

Length of the each part = 1 1/2 m

Answer:-

Length of the each part of the pieces = 1 1/2 m
