Answer 2

Given:

A rod 42.5 metre long

To Find:

Number of pieces of 0.85 metre that can be cut from the rod.

Solution:

• Here we have to find the number of pieces that can be cut from a long rod of length 42.5 m.
• For this we will divide the length of the rod by the length of 1 piece of cloth.

According to Question

Number of pieces required

= (The length of rod)/(Length of 1 piece)

= 42.5/0.85

= 50

Hence, the number of pieces of 0.85 metre that can be cut from the rod is 50.
