Sum of the decimal places = 7 .Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero ( 5 * 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point....
Length of each piece = 3 1/4 = 13/4 m Maximum pieces that can be cut = 30/(13/4) = 9 ∴ Rope left = 30 - 13/4 x 9 = 120 - 117/4 = 3/4 m∴ Required fraction = 3/4/30 = 1/4
