Answer:
Hey there.
All you need to do is subtract the the length of the broken wire from the original length of the wire
Length of the other broken wire=original length of wire -lenth of broken wire known
Length of broken wire=(7/8)m - (1/4)m=(5/8)m=0.625m
Hope that helped.!
Answer:
41/56
A piece of wire = 7/8
One piece = 1/7
Second piece = 7/8-1/7
L.C.M = 56
Then,
7/8×7
49/56
1/7×8
8/56
49-8=41
41/56
