Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=8\text{ meter}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Juan cuts a piece of rope that is 16 meter long into 2 equal pieces. We are asked to find the length of each shorter piece of rope.

To find length of each shorter piece of rope, we will divide total length of rope by 2 because Juan cuts the rope into two equal pieces.

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=\frac{16\text{ meter}}{2}$

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=8\text{ meter}$

Therefore, the length of each shorter piece of rope would be 8 inches.
