Question

Please help me, I don’t understand.

Answer 1

The length of each piece is 29.53 cm if rope is cut into 10 pieces

The length of each piece is 2.953 cm if rope is cut into 10^2 pieces

The quotient are same only the placement of decimal is changed due to the divisor. Dividing by a larger number makes the quotient smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of rope = l = 293.5 cm

When the rope is divided in 10^1 pieces

$l_1 = \frac{l}{10} = \frac{293.5}{10} = 29.53\ cm$

Dividing the rope in 10^2 equal pieces

$l_2 = \frac{l}{10^2} = \frac{293.5}{100} = 2.935\ cm$

Hence,

The length of each piece is 29.53 cm if rope is cut into 10 pieces

The length of each piece is 2.953 cm if rope is cut into 10^2 pieces

The quotient are same only the placement of decimal is changed due to the divisor. Dividing by a larger number makes the quotient smaller
