Answer 2

Answer:

0.25m or 25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

The total length of the rope is 5m or 500cm

it is cut into 20 pieces of equal length. Let the length of one piece be x.

Therefore,

x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x = 500cm

i.e, if all of the 20 pieces of x are lined up, it will be 500cm long.

or,

20x = 500cm

500

=> x = ------------ cm

20

=> x = 25 cm
