Misconceptions Concept: Application of HCF in Real Life
10
Q Reema has 3 pieces of ribbon which are 18 m, 36 m and 45 m long respectively. She wants to cut them into pieces of equal length. She wants to do this in such a way that no ribbon is wasted. What is the length of the LONGEST piece that she can get? 1 3m 2 6m 3 9m 4 15 m
Correct Option: 3
Student Selection: 1
Students who have answered A seem to have realised that the required length should be a common factor of 18, 36 and 45. But they seem to have opted for the common factor that is clearly visible, and have not thought beyond the obvious. It is also possible that they have not noticed the word longest in the question, or may not have realised that they have to find the HCF here. Students answering incorrectly are unable to apply their understanding of common factors to the given situation. Students may also be blindly relating words like largest, greatest or maximum with HCF and shortest, least or minimum with LCM. Remedial measure: Pose the question and ask the following. Ensure each student has understood the question. - If a 18 m long ribbon is to be cut into pieces of equal length, what are all possible lengths of a piece of ribbon? (Students are expected to answer as 2 m, 3 m, 6 m, and 9 m. Help them see that all these are nothing but the factors of 18.) - If a 36 m long ribbon is to be cut into
