Question

Mahesh makes small paper cutting of 1 1/2 cm from a paper of length 7 1/2 cm How many small paper cutting will mahes get? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

He will get 5 paper cuttings

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of paper = 7 1/2 cm

                          = 15/2 cm

Lenght of each piece = 1 1/2 cm          

                                  = 3/2 cm

Number of pieces he get = 15/2 divide by 3/2

                                         = 15/2 * 2/3

                                         = 5

So, he will get 5 paper cuttings.

Thank-you!!

Answer 2

Given:

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

To Find:

The number of paper cuttings he can make.

Solution:

Length of the paper cutting Mahesh is making $=1\frac{1}{2} cm$

Converting it into an improper fraction $=\frac{3}{2} cm$

Length of the paper $=7\frac{1}{2} cm$

Converting it into an improper fraction $\frac{15}{2} cm$

The number of paper cuttings he can make out of it is equal to

   $\frac{15}{2} /\frac{3}{2}$  

$=\frac{15}{2} *\frac{2}{3}$

$=5$

Hence, the number of cuttings he can make is equal to 5.
