Question

answer in metre
A rope is 42 1/2 meters long. It is cut into 17 pieces of equal lengths. What is the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5m or 2½m or 5/2m

Step-by-step explanation:

42½=85/2

85/2/17

$\frac{ \frac{85}{2} }{17} \\ \\ \frac{85}{2} \times \frac{1}{17} \\ \\ \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$
