Question

sushma had 11 1/4 (45 /4 ) m long ribbon. She cut it into 9 equal pieces . find the length of each piece .
plz help​

Answer 1

Answer:

the length of each piece is 1.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the total length is 45/4 metre and we have to divide it into 9 equal pieces, so when will divide it in 9 equal pieces then we will have 9 pieces of some equal length, say 'x' and when we will multiply this 'x' with 9 we must get the actual total length of ribbon so,

let the length of each piece be 'x' then,

x * 9 = 45/4

therefore, x = 45/4*9

                   = 5/4

                    = 1.25

therefore the length of each piece is 1.25 metre

Answer 2

Hey !!

length of the ribbon sushma had = 11 1/4m (45/4m)

after cutting the ribbon into 9 equal pieces , she will get :

9 ÷ 45 / 4

= 9 × 4/45

= 4/5 m (1.25m)

Hope it helps uh !!
