Question

A wire 2.21 metres long is carefully cut into 17 equal parts. How long is each part (in cm)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of each part = 2.21 / 17 = 0.13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial length of the wire is given as 2.21 m

The wire is divided into 17 equal parts.

Therefore the length of each part = (Initial length of the wire) / (Total number    

                                                              of equal pieces)

By substituting values we will get,

                       The length of each part = 2.21 / 17 = 0.13 m
