Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire. Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

The length L1 = 77/2

You are given that he cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. Convert it too to improper fraction.

The length L2 = 11/2

To know how many number of pieces of wire he have after making the cuts, divide length L1 by length L2. That is,

L1/L2 = 77/2 ÷ 11/2

Change the division to multiplication by reciprocating 11/2 to 2/11

77/2 × 2/11 = 77/11 = 7

Therefore, he had 7 pieces of wires after making the cuts.

The area of a square is 100 square centimeters.
algol [13]

Answer: 40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x width

A square has 4 equal sides so length = width (they have to be the same number)

10cm x 10cm = 100cm^2 or the square root of 100cm^2 = 10cm

10cm x 4 sides = 40cm
