Question

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

Answer 1

We have,

Length of long tape$=1m75cm=175cm.$

Length of piece $=3\frac{4}{7}cm.=\frac{25}{7}cm.$

Number of pieces

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

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

$=\frac{7\times 7}{1}$

$=7\times 7$

$=49$

Therefore, number of pieces are $49$.
