Question

If a rod of length 71.2 metres is cut into 8 equal pieces, what is the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Length of the rod = 71.2 m

Total number of equal divisions of the rod = 8

Length of each piece = 71.2 m ÷ 8

The division can be done as follows:

Thus, the length of each piece is 8.9 m.
