boy scout has 3 meters of rope. He cuts the rope into cords 3/5 m long. How many cords will he make?
Answer
Find out the how many cords will he make .
To prove
Let us assume that the number of cords will be make be x .
As given
boy scout has 3 meters of rope.
\(He\ cuts\ the\ rope\ into\ cords\ \frac{3}{5}m\ long\)
Than the equation becomes
\(\frac{x\times3}{5} = 3\)
solving the equation
\(x = \frac{3\times 5}{3}\)
x = 5
Therefore the number of cords will be make be 5 .
Hence proved
