Aling Fe cut 10 1/8 meter cloth into 4 pieces. How long is each piece?
10 1/8 = 10 + 1 / 8 = 80 / 8 + 1 / 8 = 81 / 8
81 / 8 / 4 = 81 / 8 ∙ 4 = 81 / 32 = ( 64 + 17 ) / 32 =
64 / 32 + 17 / 32 = 2 + 17 / 32 = 2 17/32 meters
2 17/32
To determine the length of each piece, you need to divide the total length of the cloth (10 1/8 meters) by the number of pieces (4).
To perform the division, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
10 1/8 = (10 * 8 + 1)/8 = 81/8
Step 2: Divide the numerator of the fraction by the number of pieces.
81/8 ÷ 4 = 81/8 * 1/4 = (81 * 1) / (8 * 4) = 81/32
Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
In this case, the fraction 81/32 cannot be further simplified.
Therefore, each piece of cloth is 81/32 meters long.
