Question

an eight meter long string is cut into 5 equal pieces. how long is each piece​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6meters

Step-by-step explanation:

length of string l=8meters

no. of pieces to be cut n=5

length of one piece=(length of string)/(no.of equal pieces)

length of one piece=8/5 meters

length of one piece=1.6 meters

Answer 2

Length of string=8m

No. of pieces to be cut out=5

Therefore,

Length of a single cut out string=(Length of string)/(Number of strings)

=(8/5)m

=1.6m
