Length of a cord is 71 1/2 it has been cut into 26 equal parts what is the length of each part?
Length of cord=71 1/2=143/2
No.of pieces it has been cut into=26
Length of each piece=143/2÷26
=143/2 * 1/26
=11/4
=2 3/4[ans]
(71 1/2)/26 = 11/4
To find the length of each part, we need to divide the total length of the cord by the number of parts it has been cut into.
Total length of the cord: 71 1/2
Number of parts: 26
To convert 71 1/2 into a fractional form, we can write it as 71 + 1/2.
71 + 1/2 = 142/2 + 1/2 = 143/2
Now, we can divide 143/2 by 26:
(143/2) ÷ 26 = (143/2) × (1/26) = 143/52
So, the length of each part of the cord is 143/52.
To find the length of each part, we need to divide the total length of the cord by the number of equal parts it has been cut into.
The first step is to convert 71 1/2 into a mixed fraction or decimal. Since 1/2 is equal to 0.5, we can express 71 1/2 as 71.5.
Next, we divide the total length of the cord (71.5) by the number of equal parts it has been cut into (26):
71.5 / 26 = 2.75
Therefore, each part will have a length of 2.75 units.
