Question

The rope of length 93/4m is divided into 6 piece of equal length find the length of each piece

Answer 1

Answer:

9 3/4 = 9 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4

( 39 / 4 ) / 6 =

39 / 4 * 6 =

39 / 24 =

3 * 13 / 3 * 8 =

13 / 8 =

( 8 + 5 ) / 8 =

8 / 8 + 5 / 8 =

1 + 5 / 8 =

1 5/8

9 3/4 / 6 = 13 / 8 = 1 5/8

Answer 2

Answer:

let the length of piece be x metres

total pieces = 6

total length = 93/4 metres

length of each piece = x * 6 = 93/4

x = 93/4 * 1/6

x = (93*1)/(6*4)

x = 93/24

hence the length of each piece = 93/24 metres
