Question

From a rope 40 meters long, pieces of equal size are cut. If the length of one piece is 20/3metre, find the number of such pieces.

Answer 1

Answer:

6 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rope - 40m.

length of one small piece - 20/3m.

Let the number of small pieces be x.

Therefore,

length of one small piece = 20/3

so length of x small pieces = 20/3*x

so, 20/3*x = length of the actual rope.

20/3*x = 40

x = 40*3/20

x = 6

therefore, no. of pieces is 6.
