Q)The true length of the line is known to be 500m . The 20m tape found to be 502m what is the correct length of 20m tape.
This is the complete question!

Ans) spans of measurement=500/20 =25
It means that the full length of tape of 20 m was used 25 times to measure a line 500 m.

So, let the actual length of the tape be X

So, 25x=502
x=20.8

THIS IS THE ANSWER!! HOPE IT HELPS!

Answer:

19.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say correct length = X m

X meter will be measured as = 20 m

1 meter will be measured as = 20/X

500 meter will be measured as = (20/X) × 500 = 10000/X

10000/X = 502

X = 10000/502

X = 19.92 m
