The answer is \(\dfrac{1}{6}\).
The rope is 12 meters long and each piece cut out is 2 meters long.
So we know that each piece measures 2 meters out of the 12 meters. With this alone we can make a fraction:
2 out of 12:
\(\dfrac{2}{12}\)
This can be simplified further by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
\(\dfrac{2\div 2}{12\div2} = \dfrac {1}{6}\)
Each piece is one-sixth of the rope.
