Question

How many pieces of 25cm length can be cut from 62.5 m long aluminum stick

Answer 1

1m = 100 cm
25 cm = 0.25m
Pieces that can be cutted = 62.5 / 0.25 === 250

Answer 2

There is a aluminum stick of 62.5 m = 6250 cm

Now, as we want to find the number of sticks we get from this 6250 cm long stick

Let number of sticks be x

And as we are cutting we can say we are dividing it.

So,

$x = \frac{6250}{25}$

$x = 250$

Therefore, we get 250 sticks by cutting 25 cm of stick from 6250 cm = 62.5 m

Answer :- 250 sticks
