Question

How many pieces of tape $3\frac{4}{7}cm$ long can be cut from a tape, which is $1$ metre $75cm$?

Answer 1

Given that:

Length of piece is $3\frac{4}{7}cm$

$=$ $\frac{25}{7}cm$

hence the number of pieces,

$=$ $\frac{\frac{175}{1}}{\frac{25}{7}}$

$\Rightarrow$ $=\frac{(175\times 7)}{25}$

$\Rightarrow$ $=$ $7\times 7=49$

number of pieces is $49$
