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
(489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956) / (0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749)= (489 x 0.05 x 2) / (0.09 x 93 x 100)= 489 / (9 x 93 x 10)= (163 / 279) x (1 / 10)= 0.58 / 10= 0.058 or 0.06
