How many pieces of 85 cm length can be cut from a rod 42.5 metres long? a) 30 (b) 50 (c) 60

Explanation

Length of rod `= 42.5 times100 `


`=4250 cm`


Number of piece `= frac(text{Length of rod })(text{length needed} )`


`=4250 / 85 `


`=50 `


Hence, `50` pieces of `85 cm` length can be cut from a rod of` 42.5 m`.
