A rope that is 6 meters long will be cut into 24 pieces that are all of the same length. What will be the length of each piece in centimeters?

(100 cm = 1 m)

Correct answer:

x =  25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=6\text{ m}\to \text{ cm}=6\cdot 100\text{ cm}=600\text{ cm } \\ n=24 \\ x=a\mathrm{/}n=600\mathrm{/}24=25\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$
