Question

An 8 - meter- long stick was divided into 13 equal pieces.
What was the length of each piece?

Answer 1

8/13
=0.62(rounded)

Therefore each length of each piece is 0.62 cm

Answer 2

converting the meters to centimetres = 8 x 100 =800 cm

800 divided by 13 = 61.53 cms
each piece was 61.53 cms and 0.615 m.
