Question

12. From a rope 68 m long, pieces of equal size are cut. If length of one piece is 4/14 m, find the number of such pieces.

Explain step by step

Answer 1

We have to count how many times does 4/14 fit inside 68. To do so, we have to perform a division:

`68/(4)/(14)`

But dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying the inverse of that fraction:

`68/(4)/(14)=68\cdot(14)/(4)`

So, divide 68 by 4 and then multiply the result by 14 to get the number of pieces you can cut.
