Answer 2

Solution:

It is given that Sunita cuts a 21-metre long rope into 7/2 metre long pieces .

• Total length of rope = 21 m
• Total length of rope = 21 m Number of cut - pieces = 7/2 m

Let Required Number of pieces be x

☞ 21 = x × 7/2

☞ 21 × 2 = 7x

☞ 42 = 7x

☞ x = 42/7

☞ x = 6

Therefore, Required Number of pieces of rope are 6.
