Question

How many pieces, each of length m, can be cut from a rope of length 30 m?

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{Length}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{rope}=30\mathrm{m}\\ \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{pieces}=30÷3\frac{3}{4}=30÷\frac{15}{4}\\ \begin{array}{l}{=}^2\sout{3}\sout{0}\times \frac{4}{\sout{1}\sout{5}}\\ =8\end{array}\\ \\ \text{Hence, the number of pieces would be 8.}\end{array}$
