Question

Lia has a ribbon 325 4/5m long. She cuts off a 150 3/5m long piece; then she divided the rest of the ribbon into 3 parts of equal length. Find the length of each part.

Answer 1

Each part is 56 11/15 m long.

Explanation:

325 4/5 - 150 3/5

= 170 1/5

170 1/5 = 851/5

851/5 / 3

= 851/5 * 1/3

= 851/15

= 56 11/15.
