1. Step-by-step explanation:

   Given:–

   A string is 77 1/2m long

   To find:–

   How many piece each of 5 1/6m long can be cut from it ?

   Solution:–

   The length of a string = 77 1/2 m = 155/2 m

   Length of the cutting piece = 5 1/6 m = 31/6 m

   Let the required number of pieces be X

   => X× 31/6 = 155/2

   => 31 X / 6 = 155 / 2

   => 31 X = 155×6/2

   => 31 X = 155×3

   => X = 155×3/31

   =>X = 5×3

   => X = 15

   Number of pieces =15

   Answer:–

   Total number of pieces are to be cut from the string is 15
