Question

Farhan has three pieces of ropes with length of 140 cm 168 cm and 210 cm he wishes to cut all the three pieces of ropes into smaller pisces of equal length such that there is no leftover rope
1-what is the greatest possible length of each of the smaller pieces of rope ?
2-how many smaller pieces of rope can he get altogether??

Answer 1

Answer:

14 cm

37 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

1. greatest possible length of each of the smaller pieces of rope = HCF of 140, 168, 210

= 14 cm

2. number of smaller pieces of rope can he get altogether = (140/14)+(168/14)+(210/14)

= 10+ 12 + 15

= 37 pieces
