Hlep
To find how many pieces of wire Juan cuts, we can divide the total length of wire he has (18 meters) by the length of each piece (3 meters).
To calculate this, we can use the formula:
Number of pieces = Total length of wire / Length of each piece
In this case, Juan has 18 meters of wire and each piece is 3 meters long.
Number of pieces = 18 meters / 3 meters
Dividing 18 by 3, we get:
Number of pieces = 6
Therefore, Juan will cut the wire into 6 pieces.
