Answer: 70

Explanation:

Given : Ralph has a spool with 9.8 meters of wire.

if Ralph wants to cut 0.14 meter pieces of wire , then to find the total numbers of pieces , we need to divide the total length of the wire by the length of the each piece of wire.

Then , the number of pieces of wire will be :_


n=(9.8)/(0.14)=70

Hence, the number of pieces of wire = 70.
