Question

from a rope of 40 m 50cm equal pieces were cut.
if each piece is 2 1/4 m long, find the no. of pieces cut off

Answer 1

From the question it is given that,

The length of rope = 40 m

The length of one piece of rope = 10/3

Let us assume the total number of pieces be y. So, (10/3)

y = 40 y

= (40 × 3)/10 y

= 120/10 y =

12 pieces

∴The number of pieces cut from the rope are 12
