Question

Joseph has a rope measuring $5 1 third$ in. He wants to cut into pieces each of length $1 1 third$ in. long. The number of rope pieces he gets is ___________.

1
2
3
4

hint Hint:

To find out how many pieces can be cut out from givrn rope we need to divide the total length of rope by the length of each piece to be cut down.

The correct answer is: 4

STEP BY STEP SOLUTION
Length of rope = $5 1 third i n.$
Length of each piece = $1 1 third i n.$
How many pieces of same length can be cut down = Length of the rope $divided by$ Length of each piece
Number of pieces =
$5 1 third space divided by space 1 1 third C o n v e r t i n g space m i x e d space f r a c t i o n space i n t o space s i m p l e space f r a c t i o n space space equals space 16 over 3 space divided by space 4 over 3 space equals space 16 over 3 space cross times space 3 over 4 space equals space 48 over 12 space equals space 4$
Number of pieces that can be cut from given rope =4
