Solution

What will be the length of each piece of rope, if a rope 720m in length is cut 7 times at equal distance?

When we cut a rope one time then it divides the rope into two pieces.
When we cut a rope two times then it divides the rope into three pieces.
When we cut a rope three times then it divides the rope into four pieces.
When we cut a rope four times then it divides the rope into five pieces.
When we cut a rope five times then it divides the rope into six pieces.
When we cut a rope six times then it divides the rope into seven pieces.

Similarly, when we cut a rope seven times then it divides the rope into eight pieces.


Solution:1

T o t a l space L e n g t h space o f space R o p e space equals space 720 space m space space

N u m b e r space o f space E q u a l space P i e c e s space equals space 8 space space

L e n g t h space o f space E a c h space P i e c e space equals space 720 divided by 8 space m space space equals space 90 space m

S i n c e space 1 m space equals space 10 space d e c i m e t r e

S o comma space L e n g t h space o f space E a c h space P i e c e space equals space 90 space x space 10 space equals space 900 space d e c i m e t r e



Solution:2

T o t a l space L e n g t h space o f space R o p e space equals space 720 space m space space

S i n c e space 1 m space equals space 10 space d e c i m e t r e


S o comma space t o t a l space l e n g t h space o f space R o p e space equals space 720 space x space 10 space equals space 7200 space d e c i m e t r e


space N u m b e r space o f space E q u a l space P i e c e s space equals space 8 space space


L e n g t h space o f space E a c h space P i e c e space equals space 7200 space divided by space 8 space space equals space 900 space d e c i m e t r e
