Question

A 35-meter length of cable is cut onto pieces that measure 1.25 meters each. Into how many pieces is the cable cut

Answer 1

The cable was cut into 28 pieces.

Explanation:

Given that a 35-meter cable was cut into 1.25 pieces measuring 1.25 meters each, we can determine the length of each piece by dividing 35 by 1.25:

Number of pieces = 35-meter cable / 1.25-meter cable cuts

Number of pieces = 35/1.25

Number of pieces = 28

Thus, the 35-meter cable was cut into 28 pieces.
