Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Let

r-----> the length of each piece

we know that

To find the length of each piece, divide the total length of the rope (22 ft) by the number of pieces (8 pieces)

so


8r=22 -----> equation that represent the situation


r=(22)/(8)\ feet -----> the length of each piece
