Answer 1

215 sections of rope that measure 27 meters in length, and you also have 9 meters of rope left

Explanation:

we have 5,814 meters of rope and we are told to calculate the number of 27 meters sections that we can cut:

you have to divide 5,814 meters by 27 meters = 215.333

that means that you have 215 sections of rope that measure 27 meters in length, and you also have 9 meters of rope left (0.333 x 27 = 9)
