Question

The length of a rope is 12.48 m. If it is cut into 18 pieces. Find the length of each piece.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio ⇒3:2:7

Let x be the multiple.

Then,

Ratio ⇒3x,2x,7x

Total length =24m

∴3x+2x+7x=24

12x=24 

∴x=2

The length of each piece

=3x=3×2=6m

=2x=2×2=4m

=7x=7×2=14m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

length of a rope = 12.48 m

It is cut into 18 pieces

Therefore length of each piece = 12.48

18
