a carpenter has a length of timber 18,5 long.he wants to cut the timber onto 5 equal pieces.what will the length of each piece be in cm
18.5 / 5 = ?
How long is the timber in cm, or m. I don't understand 18,5 meaning.
To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the total length of the timber by the number of equal pieces we want to cut it into.
The length of timber is given as 18.5 units.
To convert this length into centimeters, we need to know the conversion factor. Since 1 unit = 1 centimeter, we can conclude that there is no conversion needed. Therefore, the length of the timber is already in centimeters.
To find the length of each piece, we divide the total length by the number of pieces:
Length of each piece = Total length / Number of pieces
Length of each piece = 18.5 cm / 5
Length of each piece = 3.7 cm
So, each piece will be 3.7 centimeters long.
