Answer:
18 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a division problem.
1 m = 100 cm
To convert from cm to m we divide the length in cm by 100.
40 m + 50 cm = 40 m + 50/100 m = 40.5 m
The rope is 40.5 m long.
9/4 m = 2.25 m
Each piece is 2.25 m long.
[tex] \dfrac{40.5~m}{2.25~m} = 18 [/tex]
Answer: 18 pieces
