Question

A rope 18M and 50Cm is to be divided into four equal parts. how long will each part be? give your answer in metres and centimetres

​

Answer 1

4 m and 62.5 cm

Explanation:

1 meter = 100 cm

So 18m and 50 cm = 18 x 100 + 50 cm = 1850 cm

If it is going to be divided into 4 equal parts, each part = 1850/4 = 462.5 cm

462.5 cm = 462.5/ 100 = 4 m and 0.625 m

0.625m = 0.625 x 100 = 62.5 cm

So each piece is 4 m and 62.5 cm
