Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image reads:
"Jika 3 potong tali sepanjang cm diperoleh dengan memotong seutas tali yang panjangnya 80 cm terdapat sisa 5 cm."
This translates to:
"If 3 pieces of string, each of length cm, are obtained by cutting a string of length 80 cm, there is a remainder of 5 cm."
Problem Breakdown:
- The total length of the string is 80 cm.
- After cutting 3 pieces of length , there is 5 cm left as a remainder.
Setting up the Equation:
The total length of the string after cutting 3 pieces and leaving 5 cm should equal 80 cm:
Solving for :
Thus, the length of each piece is 25 cm.

- What if there were 4 pieces instead of 3? How would the equation change?
- How can you verify the solution by substitution?
- How would the equation change if the remainder was 10 cm instead of 5 cm?
- What if the total length of the string was 100 cm? How would that affect the result?
- How do you calculate the length if no remainder is left after cutting?
Tip: When solving word problems, always define variables and write down the equation carefully to represent the given scenario.
