Question

Three pieces of cloth coloured saffron, white and green are joined end to end.if the lengths of the pieces are 7/2 m, 7/3m, 19/6m, find the total length of the cloth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/2 m + 7/3m + 19/6m =

LCM of 2, 3, 6= 6

$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{21}{6}$

$\frac{7}{3} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{14}{6}$

$\frac{19}{6} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{19}{6}$

Now add all three-

$\frac{21 + 14 + 19}{6} = \frac{54}{6}$

Simplest form -

$\frac{54}{6} = \frac{9}{1}$

= 9 metres
