Answer:
7.5 cm
Explanation:
A rod 123.75 cm long is sawn into 16 equal lengths.
The length of each rod is calculated as:
123.75cm/16 =
= 7.734375cm
If a wastage takes place of ¼ cm for each saw cut,
The length of each piece is calculated as:
7.734375cm - 1/4 cm
7.734375cm − 0.25 cm
7.484375cm
Approximately = 7.5 cm
Therefore, the length of each piece = 7.5 cm
