Question

Drew has 4 pieces of rope 1 meter long each. He cuts each rope into fifths.
a. How many fifths will he have after cutting all the ropes?
b. How long will each of the fifths be in centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Total number of fifth 20

(b)Length of each fifth will be 0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that Drew has 4 pieces of rope 1 meter long each

He cuts the each rope into fifths means he will cut each rope in 5 parts

There is 4 rope

(a) So total number of fifth will be $=5\times 4=20$

(b) We have given that each rope is 1 meter long

So length of fifth part will be equal to $=\frac{1}{5}=0.2m=20cm$

So total number of fifth will be 20 and each of length 20 cm

Answer 2

The number of fifths in all the ropes is 20 and they each have a length of 20 centimeters.

How to solve fractions

Number of ropes = 4

Length of each rope = 1 meter

Total length of ropes = 4 × 1 meter

= 4 meters

Total fifths in all ropes = 4 ÷ 1/5

= 4 × 5

= 20 fifths

• 1 meter = 100 centimeters
• 4 meters = 400 centimeters

Length of each fifths in centimeters = 400 centimeters / 20

= 20 centimeters long
