Question

f) A ribbon which is 4 1/2m long is cut in to two pieces.
The length of one piece is 2 2/3m. What is the length of
the other piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ribbon length = 4 1/2 m

⇒ length of one piece + length of 2nd piece = total length of ribbon

⇒ 2 2/3 m +  length of 2nd piece = 4  1/2 m

⇒   8/ 3  m +  length of 2nd piece = 9 / 2  m

⇒  length of 2nd piece = 9/2 m - 8/3 m

⇒ length of 2nd piece = 9x3 / 2x3 m - 8x2 / 3x2m

⇒  length of 2nd piece = 27/6 m - 16/6 m

⇒ length of 2nd piece = (27 - 16) / 6 m

⇒ length of 2nd piece = 9/16 m
