Question

From a rope of the length 40 metres, a man cuts some equal sized pieces. How many pieces can be cut if each piece is of 4/7 metres length?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total length of rope=40 m

no.of pieces can be made from 40 m of length of each 4/7 m=40/(4/7)

                                                                                               =40 × (7/4)

                                                                                               =90

Answer 2

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Full length of the rope=40m

Length of Each rope piece= 4/7m

Pieces of ropes =

$40 \div \frac{4}{7} = \frac{40}{1} \times \frac{4}{7}$

Reciprocal of 4/7= 7/4

$\frac{40}{1} \div \frac{7}{4} = 70$
