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
Given expression [(0.3333)/(0.2222)] x [((0.1667)(0.8333)) / ((0.6667)(0.1250))]=[(3333 / 2222)] x [((1/6) x (5/6)) / ((2/3) x (125/1000))]=[(3/2) x (1/6) x (5/6) x (3/2) x 8]=5 / 2=2.50
