Question

jose has a piece of wood 5.7 m long. find the remainder, in cm, when he has cut 15 pieces, each 36cm long, from the original piece.

Answer 1

• 5.7 m = 570 cm
• 15 peices each of 36 cm with a remainder
• Let remainder be X

So, equation be like this :—

$\frac{570}{15} = 36 + x$

$38 = 36 + x$

$38 - 36 = x$

$x = 2$

So, the size of the portion remaining is 2 cm.
