Answer 2

Answer: 96

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a pencil lead is packaged in lengths of 0.025 m. To get the number of the shorter pieces can be cut from a strip of pencil lead that is 2.4 m long, we have to divide 2.4 by 0.025. This will be:

= 96

Therefore, 96 shorter pencils can be gotten
