Question

Kapil cuts 3 pieces of a rope .2 pieces are equal and the third piece is equal to one - fourth the length of the equal pieces. Find the length of each piece if the rope was 63 m long

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two part are equal so let it be x.

And third part= 1/4x.

So, full length is equal to the sum of parts of rope.

x+x+1/4x= 63m

2x+1/4x= 63m

8x/4+1x/4= 63m

9x/4= 63m

9x= 63*4m= 252m

9x= 252m

x= 252m/9

x= 28m

So, 28m+28m+1/4*24

56m+7m= 63m

So, first part is 28m, second part is 28m and third part is 7m.

Answers are 28m, 28m, and 7m
