A few pieces of cloth, each of length 4 m 25 cm, are cut from a 170 m long cloth piece such that no cloth is left.

How many pieces are cut from the long piece of cloth?

170 / 4.25 = ?

40

To find out how many pieces are cut from the long cloth, we need to divide the length of the long cloth by the length of each small piece that is cut from it.

The length of each small piece is given as 4 m and 25 cm, which can be converted to a single unit. 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so 4 meters is equivalent to 4 * 100 = 400 centimeters.

Therefore, the length of each small piece is 400 cm + 25 cm = 425 cm.

Now, let's divide the length of the long cloth by the length of each small piece to find the number of pieces:
170 m = 170 * 100 cm = 17000 cm
17000 cm รท 425 cm = 40

So, 40 pieces can be cut from the long cloth.
