Question

A piece of cable which is 3/5 m long is to be cut into pieces 1/20 m long. How many pieces will there​ be?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

60 pieces

Answer 2

(3/5) / (1/20) = 12 pieces

Answer 3

3 / 5 = 4 ∙ 3 / 4 ∙ 5 = 12 / 20

( 3 / 5 ) / ( 1 / 20 ) = ( 12 / 20 ) / ( 1 / 20 ) = 12

12 pieces.

Check result:

3 / 5 m = 6 / 10 m = 0.6 m

1 / 20 m = 0.05 m

12 ∙ 0.05 m = 0.6 m

Answer 4

well, 3/5 = 12/20, so ...

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many pieces can be cut from the cable, we divide the total length of the cable by the length of each piece.

Total length of the cable = 3/5 m
Length of each piece = 1/20 m

Dividing the total length of the cable by the length of each piece:

(3/5 m) ÷ (1/20 m)

To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:

(3/5 m) × (20/1 m)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators:

(3 × 20) / (5 × 1) = 60/5

Simplifying the fraction:

60/5 = 12

Therefore, there will be 12 pieces that can be cut from the cable.
