Question

A Workman cuts off 1/4 of a length of pipe. The piece he cuts off was 3.75 long. How many meters long was the original length of pipe

Answer 1

Answer: 15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the original length of the pipe.

Length of the piece which was cut off = 3.75 m

According to the question,

1/4×x = 3.75

x/4 = 3.75

x = 3.75×4

x= 15.00

Hence,original length of the pipe = 15m
