Question

From a rope of length 40metres a man cuts some equal pieces. How many pieces can be cut if each piece is of 4/9 metres length

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Here,
Length of rope =40m
size of one piece = 4/9m
No. of parts formed = $\frac{40}{{\displaystyle \raisebox{1ex}{$4$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$9$}\right.}}$
= 40 x $\frac{9}{4}$
= 90

​​​​​So, 90 pieces can be cut from given length.

Regards.
