Question

pease answer iwith full solution
from a rope of length
$58 \times \frac{1}{2}$
m ,pieces of equal size are cut off. How many pieces are cutoff , if each piece is
$2 \times \frac{1}{4}$
m long ?

Answer 1

length of the rope is 58*(1/2)
= 117/2

each fraction of the cut rope measures 2*(1/4)
=9/4

total number of pieces = (117/2)/(9/4)
= 26 pieces

Answer 2

total length of the rope = $58 \times \frac{1}{2}$

= 29

length of one piece = 2 × $\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

number of pieces can be cutted = 29 ÷ $\frac{1}{2}$

= 29 × 2

= 58

therefore 58 pieces can be cut by that rope.
