If she had cut off 25% of an 84 centimeter long stick, then that would turn into 63. And since she cuts the remaining stick into 6 equal pieces, 63 divided by 6 would equal 10.5. So the answer to your question would be each piece has the length of 10 1/2 centimeters long.

The length of each piece will be 10.5 centimeters.

Given information:

The length of the wooden stick is 84 cm.

Carpenter cuts the stick from the end (assuming only one end). She cuts off 25%.

So, The remaining length of the stick will be,

\(84-25\%\times 84=84-21\\=63\)

Now, she cuts the remaining stick into 6 equal parts.

So, the length of each part will be calculated as,

\(\dfrac{63}{6}=10.5\)

Therefore, the length of each piece will be 10.5 centimeters.
