Answer 2

Answer:

Number of pieces cut from 36m of tape = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Length of the rope = 36 m

Length of each piece cut = 2¼=9/4

Let number of pieces cut from 36m = n

$n = \frac{36}{\frac{9}{4}}\\=\frac{36}\times \frac{4}{9}\\=4 \times 4\\=16$

Therefore,

Number of pieces cut from 36m of tape = 16
