Question

An 8 m long string is to be wound around a cardboard piece along its width. if
the width of the cardboard is 15 cm, how many windings of the string around it
are possible? What is the length of the remaining string?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of string = 8 m = 800 cm

Width of cardboard = 15 cm

Number of windings around width = 800/15 = 53 5/15

Therefore,

Number of windings around width = 53

Amount of remaining string

= 5 cm
