Question

piece of wire metre long broke into two pieces One piece was metre long. How

long is the other piece?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of another piece of wire be x.

Thus, x\ +\ \frac{1}{4}\ =\ \frac{7}{8}

x\ =\ \frac{7}{8}\ -\ \frac{1}{4}

=\ \frac{7\times 4\ -\ 1\times 8}{32}\ =\ \frac{20}{32}

=\ \frac{10}{16}\ =\ \frac{5}{8}

Hence the length of other part is \frac{5}{8}\ m .
