A cord of length \(71\frac{1}{2}\) m has been cut into 26 pieces of equal length. What is the length of each piece? |
Answer» Length of cord \(=71\frac{1}{2}\,m\) No of pieces \(=26\) Length of each piece = Length of cord \(\div\) No of pieces \(=71\frac{1}{2}\,m\div26\) \(=\frac{143}{2}\,m\div26\) \(=\frac{143}{2}\,m\times\frac{1}{26}\) \(=\frac{143}{2\times26}\,m\) \(=\frac{143}{52}\,m\) \(=\frac{11}{4}\,m\) \(=2\frac{3}{4}\,m\) Length of each piece \(=2\frac{3}{4}\,m\) |
