A) 4.8 pieces




B) 6.0 pieces




C) 11.0 pieces




D) 9.0 pieces

Answer 1

Option D

9 smaller pieces of string can be cut from Allan's string

Solution:

Given that,

Allan has a piece of string that is 5.4 meters in length

He needs some smaller pieces that are 0.6 meters in length

Therefore,

Total length of string = 5.4 meter

Length needed = 0.6 meter

Thus,

$\text{ Number of pieces } = \frac{ \text{ Total length of string }}{ \text{ Length needed }}\\\\\text{ Number of pieces } = \frac{5.4}{0.6}\\\\\text{ Number of pieces } = 9$

Thus, 9 smaller pieces of string can be cut from Allan's string
