​

Answer 1

Answer:

45.6/1.2=38 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

38 piece

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 45.6 m which is total length of rope by length of each piece which is 1.2 m and you get your number of pieces.

45.6 m / 1.2 m per piece

= 45.6 m × piece / 1.2 m

= 45.6 piece / 1.2

= 38 piece

If you take care of the units you will end up with a perfect answer.
