Answer 1

Given:

Mahesh make small paper cutting of $1\frac{1}{2}$cm from a paper of length $7\frac{1}{2}$ cm.

To find:

Number of small paper cuttings.

Solution:

The length of the paper is $7\frac{1}{2}$ cm

which is 15/2 cm

The length of the single small piece is $1\frac{1}{2}$ cm

which is 3/2 cm

Number of the pieces = Length of the paper/length of the single small piece

• Number of the pieces = 15/2÷3/2
• Number of the pieces = 15/2 × 2/3
• Number of the pieces = 15/3
• Number of the pieces = 5

The number of small paper cuttings is 5
