For this case, we must say how much each piece of cable measures, by dividing the original cable into 12 equal pieces.
So:
[tex]\frac {6} {12} = \frac {1} {2} = 0.5\ meters[/tex]
Thus, each piece will be 0.5 meters long, after having been cut.
Knowing that:
1 meter equals 100 centimeters, we make the following rule of three:
1 m --------------> 100 cm
0.5 m ------------> x
[tex]x = \frac {0.5 * 100} {1}\\x = 50\ cm[/tex]
Thus, each piece will have 50 centimeters.
Answer:
Option B
