Given:

Length of the rod = 42.5 m

Length of each piece = 85 cm

Formula Used:

Number of pieces = Total length of the rod / Length of each piece

Calculation:

Convert the length of the rod from meters to centimeters:

1 meter = 100 cm

Total length of the rod = 42.5 × 100 = 4250 cm

Number of pieces = Total length of the rod / Length of each piece

⇒ Number of pieces = 4250 / 85

⇒ Number of pieces = 50

The number of pieces that can be cut is 50.
