Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First we multiply the the length of each length of rope by the number of lengths of rope (try saying that five times fast).

6 3/4×13=87 3/4

Now, we divide this by 20 to see how much rope each person gets.

87 3/4÷20= 4 31/80

Therefore, each person has 4 31/80 or 4.3875 meters of rope.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
