Each individual piece of rope is 5' long! We all know that a foot is 12' so that plus the extra 8' equals 20'... 20' divided by four which is the amount it was cut into, is 5' !!!

Hope this helps! : )

1 foot 8 inches.

1 foot = 12 inches.

1 foot 8 inches = 1 foot + 8 inches = 12 inches + 8 inches = 20 inches.

He cuts into 4 equal pieces.

= 20 / 4

= 5 inches.

Each piece would be 5 inches long.
