    A blue ribbon 2 m 98 cm long, was half as long as a red ribbon. Jyoti used \[1\frac{2}{5}\]m of the red ribbon to tie a parcel. She then cut the rest of the red ribbon into 4 equal pieces. Calculate the length of each remaining piece of red ribbon.

    A)  114 m                         

    B)  0.28 m            

    C)         1.14 m            

    D)         28 m       

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Length of blue ribbon \[=2\,m\,98\] m \[=2.98\]m \[\therefore \]Length of red ribbon \[=2\times 2.98\] m                                     =5.96 m Length of red ribbon Jyoti used                                     \[=1\frac{2}{5}m\,=1.4m\] So. Length of red ribbon left \[=(5.96-1.4)\]m                                     =4.56 m Number of pieces: -= 4 \[\therefore \]Length of each piece  \[=(4.56\div 4)\] m = 1.14 m
