from a 12 metres long piece of cloth a shopkeeper cuts pieces 3/4 metre long how many pieces will he get
12 ÷ 3/4=
12× 4/3=
16 pieces of cloth can be cut
12÷3/4=
12×4/3=16
16 piece of cloth can be cut by it
To determine how many pieces you can get from a 12-meter long cloth, you need to divide the total length of the cloth by the length of each piece.
Given that the shopkeeper cuts pieces 3/4 meters long, we need to convert this length to a decimal.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). In this case, 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75.
Now, we can divide the total length of the cloth (12 meters) by the length of each piece (0.75 meters).
12 meters ÷ 0.75 meters = 16
Therefore, the shopkeeper will be able to get 16 pieces from a 12-meter long piece of cloth.
