Question

Virat has 200 metres of wire, correct to the nearest metre.

He cuts the wire into n pieces of length 3 metres, correct to the nearest 20 centimetres.
Calculate the largest possible value of n

Answer 1

Explanation: To find the largest possible value of n, we divide the total length of the wire 200 m by the length of each piece 3 m and round it to the nearest whole number.

200 meters / 3 meters ≈ 66.67

Rounding down to the nearest whole number, the largest value of n is 66.

Therefore, the largest possible value of n is 66.
