Answer :

Let’s address Q.4:

Q.4 Ramesh cut a 21 m long rope into pieces of 4-m length each. How many pieces of the rope did he get?

To solve this, we need to understand how many whole pieces of 4 meters can be cut from a 21-meter long rope, and if there are any leftovers.

1. Total length of the rope: 21 meters
2. Length of each piece: 4 meters

We can find the number of 4-meter pieces by performing the division:

- Number of pieces = Total length of the rope / Length of each piece
- Leftover length = Total length of the rope % Length of each piece

Performing the calculation:
1. Number of pieces: \(21 \div 4 = 5\) pieces (since \(4 \times 5 = 20\), which is the maximum whole pieces we can get from 21 meters)
2. Leftover length: \(21 \mod 4 = 1\) meter (since \(21 - 20 = 1\))

So, Ramesh got 5 pieces of 4 meters each from the 21-meter long rope, and there is 1 meter of rope left over.

Answer: Ramesh got 5 pieces of the rope and there was 1 meter left.
