A piece of wire 7/8 metre long broke into two pieces. One piece was 1/4 metre long. How long is the other piece?
Solution:
Total length of the wire = 7/8 metre
Length of one piece of wire = 1/4 metre
∴ Length of the other piece = 7/8 – 1/4
LCM of 8 and 4 = 8
Hence, the length of the other piece = 5/8 metre.
