Question

Simra cuts an 8-carat diamond into smaller pieces. If each piece of diamond is 1/3 carat, how many pieces of diamond does Simra have now?

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given

Simra has an 8-carat diamond

She cuts small pieces of
`(1)/(3)` carat

Suppose she cuts x pieces of diamond

`\therefore x=(8)/((1)/(3))\\\\\Rightarrow x=8* 3\\\Rightarrow x=24`

She has now 24 pieces of diamond.
