Question

from a rope 68cm long pieces of equal size are cut. if length of one piece is 4 1/4,find the number of such pieces

Answer 1

Dear Student
Length of the rope =68cm
length of one piece =$4\frac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{4}$cm (note assuming as the unit is not given, taking cm as the unit )
number of pieces =lenght of the rope/length of one piece=$\frac{68}{{\displaystyle \frac{17}{4}}}=\frac{68*4}{17}=272/17=16$
