Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A string is 77 1/2m long

To find:-

How many piece each of 5 1/6m long can be cut from it ?

Solution:-

The length of a string = 77 1/2 m = 155/2 m

Length of the cutting piece = 5 1/6 m = 31/6 m

Let the required number of pieces be X

=> X× 31/6 = 155/2

=> 31 X / 6 = 155 / 2

=> 31 X = 155×6/2

=> 31 X = 155×3

=> X = 155×3/31

=>X = 5×3

=> X = 15

Number of pieces =15

Answer:-

Total number of pieces are to be cut from the string is 15
