Question

The length of a rope is 5 1/3 m. If it is cut into 4 equal parts, what is the length of a piece of rope


​

Answer 1

length of rope=51/3m

let the equal pieces of rope be x, x, x, x.

$4x = 51 \div 3 \\ x = 51 \div 3 \times 4 \\ x = 51 \div 12 = 4.433$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the rope = 5 1/3

convert it into improper fraction

then, 5 1/3 = 16/3

now dived 16/3 to 4/3

therefore the answer is 4/3 m.
