Question

David bought a pipe of length 4 1/5 m. He cut the pipe into smaller pieces each of length 3/5 m, How many pieces was the pipe cut into?

Answer 1

There are 100 cm in 1 m.

So with that, if you put 4.5 m in cm you get 450 cm of ribbon.

Then divide 450 by 4.5 to see how many times you can take out 4.5 cm from the amount you have.

450/4.5 = 100

So you can get 100 pices of ribbon each 4.5 cm from 4.5 m of ribbon
