A 370 m roll of string was cut into 2000 pieces of the same length. Find the length of each short piece of string. Give your answer in metres.
To find the length of each short piece of string, we need to divide the total length of the string by the number of pieces.
Length of each short piece = Total length of string / Number of pieces
Length of each short piece = 370 m / 2000
Next, we need to simplify the fraction.
Length of each short piece = 0.185 m
Therefore, each short piece of string is 0.185 meters long.
