Question

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

Answer 1

The correct answer is 5

Answer 2

Find out the how many cords will he make .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of cords will be make be x .

As given

boy scout has 3 meters of rope.

`He\ cuts\ the\ rope\ into\ cords\ (3)/(5)m\ long`

Than the equation becomes

`(x*3)/(5) = 3`

solving the equation

`x = (3* 5)/(3)`

x = 5

Therefore the number of cords will be make be 5 .

Hence proved
