I have 50-inch long bedsheet, I need to create 50 handkerchiefs each size of 1-inch. I take one minute to cut 1-inch handkerchief. So how long will it take to cut 50 handkerchiefs?
Length of bed sheet=50 inch No of Handkerchiefs=50/1=50nos...................(1 inch size) No of cuttings=50-1=49 Time for one cutting=1 minute Time for 49 cuttings=49*1=49 minutes Ans is 49 minutes
I want to fill my bucket using both cold and hot water. I have two taps for both cold and hot water. The hot water tap fills the bucket in exact 6 hours and the cold water tap fills the bucket in exact 4 hours. I turn both of them simultaneously but I forgot to turn off another tap which removes the water out of the bucket. This tap can empty the bucket in 12 hours.
How Long will it take to fill the bucket?
We have a 100-meter piece of ribbon.
If it takes one second to cut it into a 1-meter strip how long would it take to cut the entire ribbon into 1-meter strips?
If it takes 4 minutes to cut a log into 4 pieces, how many minutes will it take to cut a log into 3 pieces?
Assume all cuts are parallel, and cuts are done sequentially (not simultaneously).
