A carpenter has a wodden stick that s 84 centimeters long.She cuts of 25% from the end of the stick.Then she cuts the remaining stick into 6 equal pieces.What is the lenght of each piece?
84 * 0.75 = 63
63 / 6 = 10.5 cm
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the length of the stick after cutting off 25%.
To find the length of the stick after cutting off 25%, we can use the formula:
Length after cutting = Length before cutting - (Length before cutting * Percentage to cut)
In this case, the length before cutting is 84 centimeters, and we want to cut off 25%. So, we can calculate the length after cutting as:
Length after cutting = 84 - (84 * 0.25)
Length after cutting = 84 - 21
Length after cutting = 63 centimeters
Step 2: Divide the remaining length into 6 equal pieces.
To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the remaining length (63 centimeters) by the number of pieces (6):
Length of each piece = Length after cutting / Number of pieces
Length of each piece = 63 / 6
Length of each piece = 10.5 centimeters
Therefore, the length of each piece is 10.5 centimeters.
