Answer 1

Answer:

16

step by step explanation:

Given Two ropes are of length 64 cm and 80 cm. Both are to be cut into pieces of equal length. What should be the maximum length of the pieces?

. 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 x2x2x2 x 2

Factors of 80 are 2 x 2 x2x2x5

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

54

47

4.0

So length of each piece is16 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Rope 1 should be 32 cm and rope 2 should be 40 cm

Step-by-step explanation

To get the maximum length of each piece it must be cut into two pieces (it cant be less than 2 or both wont be equal)

Therefore -

Rope 1 = 64/2 = 32

Rope 2 = 80/2 = 40
