Comment: Notice that length * number is always 40 meters
------------------------
A) how many pieces of length 4m could be cut from this roll.
number = 40m/4m = 10 pieces
----------------------------------
B) if 80 pieces are cut from the roll what is the length of each piece
length = 40m/80 = 1/2 meter
