Scott cuts a one meter long wire into five equal parts. What is the length of each part of the wire? (2 points) 0.02 centimeters 0.20 centimeters 20 centimeters 200 centimeters
Answer: The length of each part of the wire 20 centimeter.
Explanation:
Length of the wire = 1 m
On dissecting the 1 meter wire into equal five parts =\(\frac{1 m}{5}\)
The length of the each part will be =\(\frac{1 m}{5}=0.2 m\)
1 meter = 100 centimeter
So, 0.2 meter = \(0.2\times 100 centimeter=20 centimeter\)
The length of each part of the wire 20 centimeter.
