Question

Three rods of different lengths 12cm ,18 cm and 24 cm are to be cut into equal length. What is the greatest possible length of each.

Answer 1

Answer:

the greatest possible length of each piece is 2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the lengths of the ropes:-

4m78cm = 478 cm

2m48cm = 248 cm

3m28cm= 328 cm

The greatest possible length of each piece will be the HCF of the length of the ropes.

Hence, let us find the HCF of the 478, 248 and 328

478 = 2 • 239

248 = 2^3 • 31

328 = 2^3 •41

Hence, the HCF is 2.

Therefore,  the greatest possible length of each piece is 2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2
