Question

To rope are of length 64 cm 80 cm . Both are to be cut into pieces of equal length . What should be the
maximum length of the pieces?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2√64=32

2√80=40

hence the maximum length of the pieces

=32,40

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the hcf of the given length to find the maximum length of each piece.

So factors of 64 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Factors of 80 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5

So hcf will be 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 cm

So length of each piece is 16 cm.

Hope this helps!!
