1. A construction worker was preparing wood for a project.
He had 1/4 of a meter of wood that he needed to cut
into equal size pieces. If he cut the wood into 6 pieces,
how long will each piece be?

Answer 1

4.17 cm

Explanation:

I took 1m=100cm

Then divided the cm by 4 to get the 1/4 of a meter which is 25

25/6 is 4.16repeating so I rounded it up to 4.17.

If your teacher wants it in a fraction I would state it as 25/6 cm
