Answer 1

Answer: Number of pieces = 36

Solution:

We are given that :-

• A Piece of a cord = 1.8m long

,

• need to cut into smaller pieces of 0.05m each

,

• let ",n", be the number of smaller pieces to be cut

0.05 * n = 1.8

∴ n = 1.8/0.05

n = 36

• This means that 36 smaller pieces will be cut into 0.05m
