Answer 1

Since I can't post pictures in this answer, I will just tell you how to get the answer. For this question, you need to consider, how many centimeters go into 2 meters? Well, since 1 meter equals one hundred centimeters, 2 meters would equal 200 centimeters. And since we need to know how many 10 centimeter long sections there would be, then you need to divide 200 by 10. 200 divided by ten equals 20. So the answer would be 20 sections. The plumber is able to cut 20 sections. I hope that helped!
