Question

A worker cut pieces of string that are each 3/5 yard in length how many pieces of string can the worker cut from a piece of string that is 1/4 yard in length

Answer 1

No string of length 3/5 yard can be cut from the string of length of 1/4 yard.

Explanation:

Here,the given total length of the string = 1/ 4 yards

The length of each piece cut from the string = 3/5 yard

Let us assume the total number of strings cut from given string = m

Now, here
`(1)/(4) <  (3)/(5)`

or, the LENGTH OF PIECE TO BE CUT is more than the Entire Length of string.

Hence, no string of length 3/5 yard can be cut from the string of length of 1/4 yard as
