Question

How many pieces each of length 9/4metre can be cut from a rope of length 40 metre 50 cm​

Answer 1

18 pieces

Explanation:

This is a division problem.

1 m = 100 cm

To convert from cm to m we divide the length in cm by 100.

40 m + 50 cm = 40 m + 50/100 m = 40.5 m

The rope is 40.5 m long.

9/4 m = 2.25 m

Each piece is 2.25 m long.

`(40.5~m)/(2.25~m) = 18`

Answer: 18 pieces
