A cord of length \(71\frac{1}{2}\) m has been cut into 26 pieces of equal length. What is the length of each piece?
Length of cord \(=71\frac{1}{2}\,m\)
No of pieces \(=26\)
Length of each piece = Length of cord \(\div\) No of pieces
\(=71\frac{1}{2}\,m\div26\)
\(=\frac{143}{2}\,m\div26\)
\(=\frac{143}{2}\,m\times\frac{1}{26}\)
\(=\frac{143}{2\times26}\,m\)
\(=\frac{143}{52}\,m\)
\(=\frac{11}{4}\,m\)
\(=2\frac{3}{4}\,m\)
Length of each piece \(=2\frac{3}{4}\,m\)
