To find the length of the other piece of wire after one piece has broken off, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total length of the wire and the length of one piece. The total length of the wire is \( \frac{7}{8} \) metre, and the length of one piece is \( \frac{1}{4} \) metre. ### Step 2: Convert the length of one piece to have a common denominator with the total length. The denominators of the fractions are 8 and 4. To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 4 is 8. ...
