Answer 2

Given :

• Length of Cable = 27 1/2 metre.
• Cut into equal pieces measuring = 2 3/4 meter

To find :

• how many pieces have the cable been cut into?

Solution :

⇒ First, let's convert the mixed fraction to an improper one.

27 1/2 meters = 27 × 2 + 1/2 meters

= 54 + 1/2 meters

= 55/2 meters

2 3/4 meters = 4 × 2 + 3/4 meters

= 8 + 3/4

= 11/4 meters

⇒ Let's divide to find many pieces that can be cut from the cable.

→ 55/2 ÷ 11/4

→ 55 × 4/2 × 11

→ 220/22

→ 10

• Therefore, 10 pieces can be cut from the cable.
