Answer:

5/3 or 1.666666667

Explanation:

If Ken cuts his 5 meter long rope into 3 pieces, then he would have 3 different pieces which are 5/3 meters long. Basically, draw it out. Imagine a line, and split that into 3 pieces. Each piece would be worth 5/3, as you are dividing 5 by 3.

Hope this helps!
