Question

You have a metal rod thats51/64 inch long, the rod beeds to be trimmed. You cut 1/64 inch long from one end and 1/32 from the other end. Next, you cut the rod into six equal pieces. What will be the final length of each piece?​

Answer 1

Length of each pieces= 1/8 inch

Explanation:

Length of metal rod= 51/64 inch

1/64 was cut from one end and 1/32 was cut from the other end

Total cut out= 1/64 + 1/32

Total cut out= (1+2)/64

Total cut out= 3/64 inch

Length remaining= 51/64-3/64

Length remaining= 48/64 inch

So the remaining length was cut into six pieces.

Length of each pieces= (48/64) * 1/6

Length of each pieces= 8/64

Length of each pieces= 1/8 inch
