A carpenter has a wooden stick that is 84cm long.she cuts off 25% from the end of the stick .then she cuts the remaining stick into 6 equal pieces.what is the length of each piece?
0.75 * 84 = 63
63 / 6 = ?
To find the length of each piece, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the length of the stick after cutting off 25%.
Since 25% of the stick is cut off, the remaining length of the stick is equal to 100% - 25% = 75% of the original length.
To find 75% of the original length, we can multiply the original length by 75% or 0.75.
Length after cutting off 25% = 84 cm * 0.75 = 63 cm.
Step 2: Divide the remaining length by the number of pieces.
Since the remaining stick is divided into 6 equal pieces, we can divide the remaining length by 6.
Length of each piece = 63 cm / 6 = 10.5 cm.
Therefore, the length of each piece is 10.5 cm.
