Question

How many 1.1 centimeter lengths can be made from a string that is 5.093 centimeters long? Enter a numerical answer only.

Answer 1

The number of 1.1 cm in 5.093 cm can be calculated through finding the ratio of:
(longer length)/(shorter length)
longer length=5.093 cm
shorter length=1.1 cm
thus the ratio will be:
5.093/1.1
=4.63
This means that 1.1 cm length will go into 5.093 cm length by a factor of 4.63
