Answer 1

Given:

Ahsan cuts 4/5 a piece of string and divides it into 4 parts

He made 3 such sets of strings.

To find:

How much of the string did he use?

Solution:

Let's assume "x" represents the length of the string.

So,

Ahsan cuts = $\frac{4}{5}$ a piece of string = $\frac{4x}{5}$

The no. of such sets of strings Ahsan made = 3

Therefore,

The total length of the string Ahsan used was,

= $\frac{4x}{5} \times 3$

= $\frac{12x}{5}$

= $\frac{12}{5} \times x$

= $\frac{12}{5} \:of\: the \: total \:string$

Thus, Ahsan used $\bold{\underline{\frac{12}{5} }}$ of the string.
