Answer: 49 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The amount of wire on a spool is listed as 150 m.
The length of a piece of wire = 10 ft.
We know that 1 meter = 3.28084 feet
Then , 150 meters = \(3.28084\times150=492.126\text{ feet}\)
Now, the number of pieces of wire 10 ft long you can cut from the spool:-
\(n=\dfrac{492.126}{10}=49.2126\approx49\)
Hence, approximately 49 pieces of wire 10 ft long can be cut from the spool.
