Solution:

Given

First string 50m 75 cm = 50.75 m

Second string 68 m 58 cm = 68.58 m

Third string 121 m 3 cm = 121.03 m

On joining the length of three strings = 50.75 + 68.58 + 121.03

= 240.36 m

Now,

One string = 240.36 m

Dividing the strings into 12 parts = 240.36 / 12

= 20.03 m

Therefore, the length of each piece is 20.03 m
