Question

Monica cuts 46 m of cloth into peices of 1.15 m each. How many pieces does she get?

Answer 1

Length of one piece of cloth = 1.15 m
∴ Number of pieces she gets from 46 m of cloth = $\left(\frac{46}{1.15}\right)$
= $\left(\frac{46\times 100}{1.15\times 100}\right)$ = $\left(\frac{4600}{115}\right)$ = 40

Hence, Monica has 40 pieces of cloth each of length 1.15 m.
