Question

$\frac{51}{2}$ meters long rope is cut into $12$ equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Given, Total length of the rope $=\frac{51}{2}\mathrm{m}$

No. of equal pieces cut of rope $=12$

the length of each piece will be $=\frac{51}{2}÷12$

$=\frac{51}{2}\times \frac{1}{12}$

$=\frac{17}{8}\mathrm{m}$

Hence, the required length of each piece is $\frac{17}{8}\mathrm{m}$.
