David had 3 pieces of string measuring 48 cm each and 2 other pieces measuring 80 cm each. He wanted to cut them exactly lengths with no remainder. What is the longest possible length of each string after cutting ?

You need to find the highest commonf factor between 48 and 80. 48 --> 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48. 80 --> 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80 So the hcf is 8cm.

You need to cut each string into pieces of equal length with no remainders. Step 1 : So first try to find all the possible lengths for the 48cm string than the 80cm string.

Step 2: To do that you need to find all the numbers that can be divided equally from 48 - 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,48.

Step 3: Then do the same for 80 - 1,2,4,8,10,20,40,80

So you can cut the 48cm string into 6 pieces of 8cm each. And the 80cm string into 10 pieces of 8 cm each.

Hmm, Raseena, you missed out the factors 5 and 16 for 80, and factors 3 and 16 for 48, which means they have common factor of 16.

The dash on the sides of the trapezium indicate that itts equal. Hence this is an isocles trapezium. Opposite angles of an isocles trapezium are supplementary (i.e. add up to 180°) So 5x = 180°; x= 180°÷5 = 36°
