We have to find, the value of 4/7 of 560 - 5/8 of 400.4/7 x 560 - 5/8 x 400 = (4 x 80) - (5 x 50) = 320 - 250 = 70Hence, four-seventh of 560 is greater than five-eighth of 400 by 70.
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
