Question
A `117 1/3` m long rope is cut into equal pieces measuring `7 1/3` m each. How many such small pieces are these?

Solution
We have,
Length of rope
= `117 1/3` m
= `(117 xx 3 + 1)/3` m
= `352/3` m
Length of each piece
= `7 1/3` m
= `22/3` m
So, the number of pieces of the rope
= `"Total length of the rope"/"Length of each piece"`
= `(352/3)/(22/3)`
= `352/3 ÷ 22/3`
= `352/3 xx 3/22`
= 16
Hence, number of small pieces cut from the `117 1/3` m long rope is 16.
