Question 134
From a rope 40m long, pieces of equal size are cut. If the length of one piece is $\frac{10}{3}m$, find the number of such pieces.

Answer 1

Total length of rope = 40 m
Length of one piece $=\frac{10}{3}m$
Let the number of pieces be x
Then, according to the question,
$\frac{10x}{3}=40\Rightarrow x=\frac{40\times 3}{10}\Rightarrow x=12$
Hence, number of pieces cut from the rope are 12
