A price of rope is 5 meters long. It is cut into 8 EQUAL peices. How long is each peice?

Answer 1

There are 100 centimeters in a meter. The easiest way to measure smaller pieces would be in centimeters. 5 x 100 = 500. The rope is 500 centimeters long.

Then, when you cut it into 8 equal pieces, you would divide 500 by 8. 500/8=62.5. Each piece would be 62.5 centimeters long.
