A long wire of some length is cut into small pieces of 216 cm leave a small piece of length of 89 cm if this part were cut into equal pieces each of 18 cm the length of the leftover wire would be

89/18 = 4.9444

.9444 * 18 = ?

27 To solve this problem, we need to find out how many 18 cm pieces can be cut from the given length of wire and calculate the length of the leftover wire.

Let's start by finding the total length of the wire. The wire was originally cut into small pieces of 216 cm, and if we add the leftover piece of 89 cm, the total length would be:

Total length = (216 cm x n) + 89 cm

Where 'n' represents the number of small equal pieces we need to find.

Now, we can set up an equation to find 'n'. Since we are cutting the wire into equal pieces of 18 cm, we can say:

216 cm = 18 cm x n

Simplifying the equation:

n = 216 cm / 18 cm

n = 12

Now we know that there are 12 equal pieces of 18 cm that can be cut from the given length.

To calculate the length of the leftover wire, we subtract the total length of the equal pieces from the original length.

Length of leftover wire = Total length - (18 cm x n)

Length of leftover wire = (216 cm x 12) + 89 cm - (18 cm x 12)

Length of leftover wire = 2592 cm + 89 cm - 216 cm

Length of leftover wire = 2465 cm

Therefore, the length of the leftover wire would be 2465 cm.
