Question

Scott cuts a one meter long wire into five equal parts. What is the length of each part of the wire? (2 points) 0.02 centimeters 0.20 centimeters 20 centimeters 200 centimeters

Answer 1

Answer: The length of each part of the wire 20 centimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the wire = 1 m

On dissecting the 1 meter wire into equal five parts =
`(1 m)/(5)`

The length of the each part will be =
`(1 m)/(5)=0.2 m`

1 meter = 100 centimeter

So, 0.2 meter =
`0.2* 100 centimeter=20 centimeter`

The length of each part of the wire 20 centimeter.

Answer 2

20 centimeters. 100 centimeters in a meter. 100/5= 20
