1. My son has a project in Physics. He was given 3 rolls of electric wires that are 14 m, 35 m, and 63 m long, respectively. He was instructed by his instructor to cut the wires such that it has the same lengths possible. What was the greatest possible length of each cut of wire?
Answer:
The greatest possible length of each cut wire is 7 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first roll (14 m) can be cut 2 times.
The second roll (35 m) can be cut 5 times.
The third roll (63 m) can be cut 9 times.
length/number of cuts;
14/2 = 7
35/5 = 7
63/9 = 7
