Answer:
Long piece of wood = 1m = 100cm
upper bound = 105cm
lower bound =95cm
Short wood is 10cm
Upper bound =10.5cm
Lower bound =9.5
10 pieces of short wood = 10cm x 10 = 100cm
upper bound = 10.5 x 10 = 105cm
lower bound = 9.5 x 10 = 95cm
If the actual length of the wood is 95cm and each short piece of wood is 10.5cm , then it is not possible to cut 10 shorter pieces of wood.
