Question

A wire of length$6\frac{1}{2}m$ is cut into $13$pieces of equal length. Find the length of each piece

Answer 1

Find the length of each piece

Given wire length is $6\frac{1}{2}m$

Let $x$be the length of each piece.

$$\begin{gathered} 13\times x=6\frac{1}{2} \\ 13x=\frac{13}{2} \\ x=\frac{13}{2\times 13} \\ x=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$

$\therefore \frac{1}{2}m$ is the length of each piece if A wire of length$6\frac{1}{2}m$ is cut into $13$pieces of equal length.
