A piece of ribbon 25 meters long is cut into pieces of equal length. It is possible to get a piece with irrational length?

3 answers

nope, each length is 25/2 m which is a rational number.

Nope. If there are n pieces(n an integer), then each piece is 25/n meters long. Since n is an integer, 25/n is a rational number.
