Question

How many pieces of $\frac{3}{2}$ m each can be cut from a lace measuring 15 m?

Answer 1

Given,

The length of lace $=15m$ and length of piece $=\frac{3}{2}m$

Now we know that ,

$numberoflace$ $=\frac{lengthoflace}{lengthofPiece}$

$=\frac{15}{\frac{3}{2}}$

$=\frac{15\times 2}{3}$

$=\frac{30}{3}$

$=10$

Hence, $10$ pieces of $\frac{3}{2}m$ each can be cut from a lace measuring $15m$.
