Question

Thura has twi ropes. One is 120 feet long and the other is 96 feet laing. He wants to cut then in such a way that all the pieces are equal but as long as possible. How many pieces of rope will he get?

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF of 120 and 96 is 24(to give longest possible and equal length ropes)

so he will get 5 pieces from the 120 feet rope(120/24=5)

and 4 pieces from the 96 feet rope(96/24=5)

so 5+4=9 pieces
