Question

Mohit has a rope of 325 4/5 m long. He cut off a 150 3/5 long piece then he divided the rest of the rope in 3 parts of equal lengths. Find the length of each part.

Answer 1

After removing 150 3/5 part from the rope the rope becomes 125 1/5 m long. The length of each part is 41 m long

Answer 2

length of the rope initially = 325.80 = 325 4/5
length he cut off              = 150.60 = 150 3/5
then the length becomes  = 175.20 = 175 1/5
now he divides that length into 3 = 175.20 divided by 3 which is 58.40 = 58 2/5

( please see = 1/5 = 0.20 , 2/5 = 0.40 , 3/5 = 0.60 , 4/5 = 0.80 , 5/5 = 1.00 )
