Fractions and Decimals
From a rope 30 m long, a person cuts off as many pieces as possible, each 3 1/4 m long. What fraction of the whole will be left ?
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
Number of decimal places in the given expression = 8Number of decimal places in (A) = 8Number of decimal places in (B) = 9 Number of decimal places in (C)= 7Clearly , the expression in (A) is the same as the given Expression.
