An electrician has a wire 6 meters long. she needs to cut it into 12 equal pieces. how many centimeters long will each piece be? a. 2 b. 50 c. 72 d. 7,200

For this case, we must say how much each piece of cable measures, by dividing the original cable into 12 equal pieces.

So:

Thus, each piece will be 0.5 meters long, after having been cut.

Knowing that:

1 meter equals 100 centimeters, we make the following rule of three:

1 m --------------> 100 cm

0.5 m ------------> x

Thus, each piece will have 50 centimeters.

Option B

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
