Total = 10 ft
one section = n ft
other section = (10 - n ) ft <==== answer
If a man divides a 10ft board into two sections and one section was n ft long then the other section would be 10-n.
Division is basically breaking a number into some parts. We know that in a division the following result is applied:
Dividend=Divisor*quotient+remainder
We have been given that a man sawed a 10 feet long board into two sections.One section was n feet long and we are required to express the length of second section in terms of n.
When we divide one board then the length of both sections should be equal to the length of board.
let the length of second board be x such that,
x+n=10
x=10-n.
Hence if a man sawed a 10ft board into two sections and one section was n ft long then the other section would be 10-n.
