Question

Simeon has two lengths of rope. One piece is 72 metres long and the other is 90 metres long. He wants to cut both lengths of rope into the longest pieces of equal length possible. How long should the pieces be?

Answer 1

Answer:

so the picies of ropes should be 81m long to be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the lengths of rope a=72m

b=90m

so to get equal length of ropes=a+b=2

=72+90/2

=162/2

=81m

Answer 2

81 meters.

Given:

The length of one piece = 72 m

The length of another piece = 90m

So,

The equal length of ropes=a+b=2

=72+90/2

=162/2

=81m
