From a rope 68 m long, pieces of equal size are cut. If length of one piece is 4 1/4 m, find the number of such pieces.

Solution:

It is given that

Length of rope = 68 m

Length of one piece = 4 1/4 m = 17/4 m

We know that

Number of such pieces = Total length of rope/ Length of small piece

Substituting the values

= 68/ 17/4

Here the reciprocal of 17/4 is 4/17

= 68/1 × 4/17

= 4 × 4

= 16

Therefore, the number of such pieces is 16.
