Question

Two pieces of lengths 13/3 m and 3/5 m are cut off from a rope 15

Answer 1

Hello there! ;) The way you solve this type of problem is you must find common denominators. So simplify 13/3= 4 1/3. So we can do 1/3*5/5=5/15. Next we must do 3/5*3/3= 9/15. So add 5/15+9/15= 14/15. And add the 4+ 14/15=          4 14/15. So then you must subtract 15 - 4 14/15= 10 1/15 I believe. I believe 10 1/15 is the remainder of the rope. You might want to check in with someone else though.

Hope I help! :D
