Question

A string of length 28÷5 m is cut into 7 pieces of equal length. Find
the length of each piece.​

Answer 1

Let the length of each piece be x metres

Now since 27 equal pieces have been cut and the total length is 9 meters so,.

27x=9

x=9/27

So length of each piece is 9/27 meters.

Answer 2

Answer:

4/5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

• length of string = 28/5 m
• no. of equal pieces = 7

• lenght of each piece = total length ÷ no. of equal pieces

= 28/5 ÷7

= 28/5×7

= 4/5 m
