How many pieces of string each 24 cm long can be cut from 72 m

Answer 1

To find out how many pieces of string can be cut from the given length, we need to convert the lengths to the same unit.

Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, we can find how many cm are in 72 m:

72 m * 100 cm/m = 7200 cm

Next, we need to find how many pieces of string of 24 cm can be cut from 7200 cm:

7200 cm / 24 cm = 300 pieces

Therefore, 300 pieces of string, each 24 cm long, can be cut from 72 m.
