Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

JIM HAVE A ROPE OF LENGTH 1 1/2

FIRST WE CONVERT INTO IMPROPER FRACTION

1 1/2

= 3/2

HE CUT OFF 1/3 OF IT

SO

WE DIVIDE 3/2 INTO 1/3

LCM OF DENOMINATORS

2 AND 3

IS 6

SO

3×3 1×2

2×3 3×2

9/6. ÷ 2/6

9÷2

6

SO THE ANSWER IS

1 5/6

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
