Question

Length of ribbon is 1/3 meter.Ribbons are joined together to get 2 2/3 meter length.Then how many such ribbons were joined together.

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 X 8= 8/3

simplify- 2 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

8 ribbons were joined together to get 2 \frac{2}{3} meter.

Given Data:

Length$=\frac{1}{3}$ meter.

Ribbons joined together $=2 \frac{2}{3}$

To Find:

How many ribbons were joined together?

Step 1:

Let the number of ribbons be x.

We know that, $2 \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Step 2:

According to the question,

$\frac{1}{3} \times x=\frac{8}{3}$

Step 3:

Evaluate the above equation to find the value of x.

Let the x be LHS and bring $\frac{1}{3}$ to RHS

$x =\frac{8}{3} \times \frac{3}{1}$

Step 4:

By doing the above $\frac{1}{3}$ will be moved to RHS as $\frac{3}{1}.$

x=8

Both Nr and Dr 3 gets cancelled and finally we get the value of x.

x= 8.
