Question

How many metres of ribbon does he has in total?

1. 55m (b) 65m (c) 75m (d) 85m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of roll of ribbon = 56 m.

Short pieces to be cut are of length = 7/8 m

Number of short pieces that may be cut from the roll = 56/(7/8) = 56*8/7 = 64.

Answer 2

The given question is incomplete.

The correct question is

Ram has 4 rolls of ribbon and one roll of ribbon is $18\frac{3}{4}$ m long.

How many meters of ribbon does he have in total?

1. 55m (b) 65m (c) 75m (d) 85m​

Option(c) is correct.

Given:

Number of ribbon rolls = 4

One ribbon roll = $18\frac{3}{4}$ m

To Find:

The total length of the ribbon Ram has in meters.

Solution:

We are required to find the total length of the ribbon in meters.

Number of ribbon rolls = 4

Each roll of ribbon length =  $18\frac{3}{4}$

Each roll of ribbon length =  ((18×4)+3)/4

Each roll of ribbon length = 75/4

The total length of ribbon, T = number of ribbon rolls × each roll of ribbon length  -------(1)

Substitute the value of the number of ribbon rolls and each roll of ribbon length in equation(1)

The total length of the ribbon, T = (4×75)/4

The total length of the ribbon is 75 m

Therefore, Option(c) is correct.
