Division of length

Division Example 1

(i) \( 84 \text{ m } 40 \text{ cm } \div 4 \)

Division of 84m 40cm by 4

\( 84 \text{ m } 40 \text{ cm } \div 4 = 21 \text{ m } 10 \text{ cm } \)

(ii) \( 360 \text{ km } 540 \text{ m } \div 9 \)

Division of 360km 540m by 9

Answer = 40 km 060 m

Try this
(i) \( 750 \text{ m } 45 \text{ cm } \div 5 = \) 150 m 09 cm
(ii) \( 49 \text{ km } 630 \text{ m } \div 7 = \) 7 km 090 m
(iii) \( 770 \text{ km } 550 \text{ m } \div 11 = \) 70 km 050 m
Example 2

If the total length of 4 pieces of clothes is 8 m 60 cm. What is the length of one piece of cloth?

Solution:

Total length of cloth = 8m 60 cm
Length of one piece = \( 8 \text{ m } 60 \text{ cm } \div 4 \)

Division calculation for cloth pieces

Length of one piece = 2 m 15 cm
Length of one piece = 2 m 15 cm
