a piece of wire is 0.75m long how many pieces of wire 0.5m long, can be cut from it? What is the remaining lenght
0.75 / 0.5 = 1.5
You can cut 1 piece with a half a piece or 0.25 m left over.
To find out how many pieces of wire measuring 0.5m can be cut from a wire measuring 0.75m, you need to divide the total length of the wire (0.75m) by the length of each piece you want to cut (0.5m).
Therefore, to calculate the number of pieces that can be cut, you divide 0.75m by 0.5m:
0.75m รท 0.5m = 1.5
The answer is 1.5, which means you can cut 1.5 pieces of wire measuring 0.5m from a wire measuring 0.75m. However, since you cannot have half of a wire piece, you can only cut whole pieces. Therefore, you can cut 1 piece of wire measuring 0.5m from a wire measuring 0.75m.
To find the remaining length, you can subtract the length of the wire used to cut the piece from the total length of the wire:
0.75m - 0.5m = 0.25m
The remaining length of the wire is 0.25m.
