Answer:

each part measures 4.25 metres

Answer 2

Given:-

A string of 8.5 m length

To Find:-

Length of a single part.

Explanation:-

Consider the length of single part be 'x' m.

Then, according to question both parts are equal in length such that the summation of both parts is 8.5 m.

$\Rightarrow x+x=8.5m\\\\\Rightarrow2x=8.5m\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{8.5}{2}=4.25m$

Therefore, length of each part is 4.25m
