  • To make 11 pieces of equal length from 1 full roll, we need to cut 10 times.
  • Rate of cutting = 50 pieces per minute.
  • Therefore, no. of pieces in 25 minutes = 50 × 25 = 1250.

⇒ No. of rolls cut in 25 minutes

= No. of pieces cut in 25 minutes ÷  No. of cuts required for 1 roll

= 1250 ÷ 10

= 125.
