Question

you have 5814 meters of rope that you need to cut into 27 meters sections. How many 27 meter section of rope will you be able to create, and how much rope will be left over as waste?

Answer 1

215 sections of 27 meters of rope will be created and 9 meters will be left as waste

Explanation:

A rope that is 5814 meters long needs to be cut into 27 sections

The number of 27 meter sections of rope that can be created can be calculated by dividing 5814 by 27

= 5814/27

= 215 remainder 9

Hence 215 sections of rope will be created and 9 meters of rope will be left as waste
