Question

Awire of length8/16 m is cut into 5 equal part: Each piece of wire is long in m by.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of each piece of wire is 0.1 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given:

→ The length of the wire is  $\dfrac{8}{16}$ m.

→ The wire is cut into 5 equal parts.

To find out:

The length of the pieces.

Solution:

The length of the wire is $\dfrac{8}{16}$ m, we can also write this as 0.5 m. That is,

             $\dfrac{8}{16}$ m = 0.5 m

Since the wire is cut into 5 equal parts, if we divide 0.5 m by 5 we can find the length of one piece. Therefore,

Length of one piece = $\dfrac{0.5}{5}$

                            = 0.1 m

Hence each piece of wire is  0.1 m long.
