Question

ramesh cut a 21 1/4m rope into pieces of 4 1/4m length each How many pieces of rope did he get

Answer 1

Answer

⚝ Total length of rope ramesh is having : $\rm 21 \frac { 1 } { 4 } m$

⚝ Length of each piece of rope : $\rm 4 \frac { 1 } { 4 } m$

To get numbers of pieces ramesh would get we need to Divide the total length of rope with length of each piece.

i.e $\rm \frac {Total\:Length\:Of\:rope}{Length\:Of\:Each\:Piece}$

So,

$\implies \rm 21 \frac { 1 } { 4 }m$ ÷ $\rm 4 \frac { 1 } { 4 }$

$\implies \rm \frac { 85 } { 4 }$ ÷ $\rm \frac { 17 } { 4 }$

Solving it we would be getting,

$\implies \rm \frac { 85 } { 4 }$ × $\rm \frac { 4 } { 17 }$

$\implies\boxed{ \rm 5}$

He would be getting 5 pieces from the original rope.
