Hello, AmyBeth, Okay. So Juan has 18 meters right? So Juan cut them into 3 meters each. What x 3 = 18?

You should have 6

Answer:

6 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment for tape diagram.

We have been given that Juan buys 18 meters of wire. He cuts the wire into pieces that are each 3 meters long.

To find the number of pieces of wire, we will divide total length by 3.

\(\text{Number of pieces of wire}=\frac{18}{3}\)

\(\text{Number of pieces of wire}=6\)

Therefore, Juan cut 6 pieces of wire.
