Question

A boy scout has 4 meters of rope. He cuts the rope into cords 3/5 m long. How many cords will he make?

Answer 1

Original length of the rope = 4m

Size of each piece = 3/5 m.

No of cords of same size formed will be


`4 / (3)/(5) \\ = 4 * (5)/(3) \\ = (20)/(3) \\ = 6 (2)/(3)`


`Therefore \: the \: person \: will \: make \: \: 6 (2)/(3 \: ) cords.`
