Question

If a ribbon 145/7 m long has been cut into equal pieces 29/21m each so. Find how much pieces are obtained

Answer 1

ANSWER :

5/3 = 1 2/3

STEP - BY STEP EXPLANATION:

Length of Ribbon = 145/7                                                                                             Length of peices = 29/ 21

No. of peices = 145/7   divided by  29/21                                                                            So, taking the reciprocal of 29/21 = 145/7 x 21/29

                                                        = 5 x 3 = 15

Hence, 15 peices were obtained.
