Question

Three strings of lengths 50 m 75 cm; 68 m 58 cm and 121 m 3 cm, respectively, are joined together to get a single string of greatest length, And the length of the single string obtained.
If this single string is then divided into 12 equal pieces; find the length of each piece.

Answer 1

1st string 50 m 75 cm = 50.75 m
2nd string 68 m 58 cm = 68.58 m
3rd string 121 m 3 cm= 121.03 m
On joining three total length = 240.36 m
Now, one string = 240.36 m
Dividing 12 parts = `240.36/12` = 20.3 m.
