Answer 2

AnswEr:-

Your Answer Is 34 pieces.

ExplanaTion:-

Given:-

• Total length of the ribbon = 51/2 m.

• Length of each piece = 3/4 m.

To Find:-

• The numbers of pieces that can be cut from the ribbon.

So,

Let the number of pieces be x.

So If we multiply the total numbers of pieces by the length of each piece it will give us the total length of the ribbon.

And here total pieces is x, length of each piece is 3/4 m and the total length of the ribbon is 51/2 m.

$\tt\mapsto \dfrac{51}{2} m = x \times \dfrac{3}{4} m.$

$\tt\mapsto \dfrac{51}{2} m = \dfrac{3x}{4} m.$

$\tt\mapsto \dfrac{51}{2} m - \dfrac{3x}{4} m = 0.$

$\tt\mapsto \dfrac{102 \: m - 3x \: m}{4} = 0 \: \: \: \: \rm(by \: taking \: lcm).$

$\tt\mapsto(102 - 3x) \: m = 0 \times 4.$

$\tt\mapsto102 - 3x = 0.$

$\tt\mapsto102 = 3x.$

$\tt\mapsto3x = 102.$

$\tt\mapsto x = \dfrac{102}{3} .$

$\bf\mapsto x = 34.$

$\bf\therefore$ The Number Of pieces that can be cut from the Ribbon is x = 34.
