assuming this means 6 equal lengths

divide 2 meters by 6

2/6 =0.333 meters each

0.333 meters = 333.33 mm

rounded off to nearest whole mm would be 333 mm's

Answer:

333 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a carpenter cuts a 2 meter length of wood into 6 pieces. We are asked to find the length of each piece of wood.

First of all, we will convert 2 meters to millimeters.

1 meter = 1000 mm

2 meters = 2,000 mm.

[tex]\text{Length of each piece}=\frac{\text{2000 mm}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Length of each piece}=333.3333\text{ mm}[/tex]

Round answer to nearest whole mm:

[tex]\text{Length of each piece}=333\text{ mm}[/tex]

Therefore, each piece is approximately 333 mm long.
