Answer 2

Concept

Fraction in mathematics can be represented in the form of a/b where b is not equal to 0.

Given

1) 3/10 part of bamboo is in mud

2) 3/5 part of bamboo in water

3) 5m is on surface of water

Find

The total length of bamboo

Solution

Let the total length of bamboo be x metre

We are given that

3/10 part of bamboo is in mud = 3/10x

3/5 part of bamboo in water = 3/5x

5m is on surface of water = 5

Total length = 3/10x + 3/5x + 5

Total length = x

3/10x + 3/5x + 5 = x

We can write 3/5 as 6/10 by multiplying denominator and numerator by 2

So,

3/10x + 6/10x + 5 = x

9/10x + 5 = x

x- 9/10x = 5

10x – 9x = 50

x = 50

The length of bamboo is 50 metres.
