Question:

Manish has a stick of length 1 metre. He marks the stick at thirds (to divide the stick into 3 equal pieces) with blue pen and at fifths (to divide the stick into 5 equal pieces) with red pen. He then cuts the stick at all the blue and red markings and hence the stick is divided into 7 pieces. What is the length (in metre) of the smallest piece?
