Answer: 1/5m

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Darren has a wooden board that has a length of 3/5m. We are then told that he cuts the board into 3 equal parts.

The length of each section of the board will then be:

= 3/5 ÷ 3

= 3/5 × 1/3

= 3/15

= 1/5m

Each section of the board will be 1/5meters long
