Question

How many pieces each of length $15\frac{1}{10}cm$,can be cut from a ribbon of length $181\frac{1}{5}cm$?

Answer 1

Total length of ribbon $=181\frac{1}{5}=\frac{906}{5}cm$

Length of 1 pieces of ribbon $=15\frac{1}{10}cm-\frac{151}{10}cm$

Then total no. of pieces of ribbon $=\frac{906}{5}=\frac{906}{5}\times \frac{10}{151}$

Total no. of pieces =$\frac{1812}{151}=12$

$\therefore$ Total no. of ribbon pieces are =12.
