a steel pipe of length 7.234m must be divided into four equal length. the saw blade is 2mm thick how long will each of the four lengths will each of the four lengths be?
The pipe will be cut in three places.
Between the first and second parts, between the second
and third parts and between the third and fourth parts.
The saw blade is 2 mm thick, so 3 ∙ 2 mm = 6 mm of pipe will be lost.
1 m = 1000 mm
7.234 m = 7234 mm
7234 mm pipe - 6 mm loss = 7228 mm
7228 mm / 4 = 1807 mm
Or:
L = ( 7234 - 3 ∙ 2 ) / 4
where L is the length of one part
L = ( 7234 - 6 ) / 4
L = 7228 / 4
L = 1807
Since 1807 mm = 1.807 m you can write the result as:
L = 1.807 m
or
L = 1807 mm
1.807
Well, dividing a steel pipe while considering the thickness of a saw blade can be a bit tricky. You see, the blade will remove some material during the cutting process. So, in the end, each of the four lengths will be a bit shorter than the original length. But hey, let's take this opportunity to lighten the mood!
If you're planning on becoming a famous magician and performing some pipe-cutting tricks, here's a potential solution: Just make sure to use an invisible saw blade! That way, the length of the pipe won't change, and you'll have four equally long lengths of 7.234m each. Voilà! Now that's some magical math.
But in all seriousness, if we take into account the 2mm thickness of the saw blade, each of the four lengths will end up slightly shorter. One option is to subtract the total thickness (2mm x 4) from the original length. So, each of the four lengths will be roughly 7.23m - 0.008m, which is approximately 1.8055m.
Remember, though, this is just an approximation because we're assuming the saw cuts cleanly and evenly. So, if accuracy is crucial, it's best to consult a professional to consider the exact specifications of the blade and any potential material loss. Safety first, and let the juggling of lengths begin!
To find out the length of each of the four equal lengths, we need to subtract the thickness of the saw blade from the total length of the steel pipe, and then divide the result by 4.
Total length of the steel pipe: 7.234 m
Thickness of the saw blade: 2 mm = 0.002 m
Length of each equal length = (Total length - Thickness of saw blade) / Number of equal lengths
Length of each equal length = (7.234 m - 0.002 m) / 4
Let's calculate the result:
Length of each equal length = 7.232 m / 4
Now divide the length by 4:
Length of each equal length = 1.808 m
Therefore, each of the four lengths will be 1.808 meters.
To divide the steel pipe into four equal lengths, we need to subtract the thickness of the saw blade from the total length and then divide it by four. Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
1. Subtract the thickness of the saw blade from the total length:
Total length - Saw blade thickness
Given that the total length of the steel pipe is 7.234m and the saw blade thickness is 2mm (which is equal to 0.002m), we can calculate:
7.234m - 0.002m = 7.232m
2. Divide the resulting length by four to get the length of each of the four equal parts:
Resulting length / 4
Using the resulting length from step 1, we can calculate:
7.232m / 4 = 1.808m
Therefore, each of the four lengths will be 1.808 meters.
