Question

Determine the longest tape which can be used to measure exactly the length 7 m, 3m85cm, and 12m95cm

Answer 1

The tape will differ its lenght as many tapes can be used of different lengths

Answer 2

Answer:

First change the length into cm.

[1m= 100cm]

7m=700cm

3m 85cm= 3x100+85= 385cm 12m95cm= 12x100+95-1295cm

Find the H.C.F of 3 lengths 700cm, 385cm, 1295cm

700= 2x 2x 5x5x7 = 2²x5²x7

385= 5x7x11

1295-5x7x37

H.C.F= 5x7 = 35
