Question

A piece of wood, 7.2 m long, is to be cut into smaller pieces. EACH of these pieces should be 0.12 m in length. How many smaller pieces can be obtained?​

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

To determine how many smaller pieces can be obtained from a 7.2 m long piece of wood, we need to divide the total length of the wood by the length of each smaller piece.

Total length of wood = 7.2 m

Length of each smaller piece = 0.12 m

Number of smaller pieces = Total length of wood / Length of each smaller piece

Number of smaller pieces = 7.2 m / 0.12 m

Number of smaller pieces = 60

Therefore, 60 smaller pieces can be obtained from a 7.2 m long piece of wood, with each smaller piece being 0.12 m in length.

Answer 2

To find the number of smaller pieces that can be obtained, we need to divide the total length of the wood by the length of each smaller piece:

Number of pieces = Total length ÷ Length of each piece

Number of pieces = 7.2 m ÷ 0.12 m

Number of pieces = 60

Therefore, 60 smaller pieces can be obtained from the 7.2 m long piece of wood.
