Answer:
16 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of a metal rod = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] meters
This rod is cut in small pieces of length = [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] meters
To calculate the number of pieces of the rod we will use the formula
Length of the rod = number of pieces × length of one piece
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] × length of one piece
Length of piece = [tex]\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{20}}[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{4}{5})\times \frac{20}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4\times 20}{5}[/tex]
= 16 pieces
Therefore, 16 pieces can be made from the rod.
