Answer 2

Answer: OPTION D.

Explanation:

You need to analize the information given in the exercise.

Let be "x" the number of smaller pieces of string that can be cut from Allan's string.

According to the information given in the exercise, the total length of the piece of string that Allan has is the following:

`total\ length=5.4\ meters`

Since Allan needs smaller pieces with and each one of them must have a length of 0.6 meters, then you can divide that total length of the entire piece by 0.6 meters, in order to find the value of "x".

Through this procedure, you get the following result:

`x=(5.4\ meters)/(0.6\ meters)\\\\x=9`
