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.

Which is longer 2 meters or 200 cent a meters or 2.05 meters
Yuri [45]
Solving this requires use of conversions

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

all that's left is the question
200 cm vs. 2.05 meters

I we know our equivalencies, we know that
100 cm = 1 m

if this is so then
200 cm = 2 m

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

so it must also be that
2.05 m > 200 cm

2.05 \: meters
