Question

The length of a ruler is 170cm,if the ruler broke into four equal parts.what will be the sum of the length of three parts

​

Answer 1

You can do this two ways

1. Divide 170 into 4 parts and multiply by 3.

170/4=42.5

42.5 x 3 = 127.5 so 127.5 is the answer

2. 3/4=0.75

170 x 0.75 = 127.5

or 170/1 x 3/4 = 510/4 = 127 1/2

127 1/2 = 127.5 because 1 divided by 2 is 0.5__127 + 0.5 = 127.5

Hope this helps
