A roll of wire is 8m 9cm long. If i cut it off into 9 pieces of equal length, what will be the length of each piece?

1 answer

8m, 9 cm = 809 cm

number of pieces which are 9 cm long
= 809/9 = 89.88.. or appr 90 cm each

btw,
in the true usage of the metric system, one would not say
8m, 9cm
it would be either 809 cm or 8.09 m
the beauty of the metric system is that you don't have to mix units like in the old imperial system.
