Question

A plumber has a 2-meter length of pipe. He needs to cut it into sections that are 10 centimeters long. How many sections will he be able to cut? (I will give brainliest if you answer first)

Answer 1

Answer:

20 - 10 cm sections can be cut from a pipe of original length 2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 2 meters to cm:  

2 m       100 cm

------ * ---------------- = 200 cm

  1             1 m

Next, divide this 200 cm total length by (10 cm/section) to determine the number of sections:

200 cm

--------------------- = 20 sections

10 cm/section

20 - 10 cm sections can be cut from a pipe of original length 2 m
