Question 99

From a rope 68 m long, pieces of equal size are cut. If the length of one piece is $4\frac{1}{4}$ m, find the number of such pieces.

Answer 1

Given, length of the rope = 68 m.
and length of small piece $=4\frac{1}{4}m=\frac{(4\times 4)+1}{4}m=\frac{17}{4}m$
$\therefore$ Number of pieces $=\frac{Totallengthofrope}{Lengthofsmallpiece}=\frac{68}{\frac{17}{4}}=\frac{68}{1}\times \frac{4}{17}=4\times 4=16$

Hence, the number of pieces is 16.
