Question

35. A piece of string 8m is cut into 10 shorter pieces. Each piece measures 3/4m expect for the last piece. What is the length of the last piece of string in cm?​

Answer 1

Answer:

I'll setup up the problem and you can do the calculation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of string - L = 8m

Multiple pieces is - 0.75m

Number of multiple pieces that are 0.75m - n

Remaining (last) piece - R

what we need to solve

R = L - (0.75n)

first find n by dividing L by 0.75 taking only the whole number (throw away the fraction)

n = 8/0.75 (I'll leave that calculate to you)

Then substitute n in the equation above to get R
