Rick cut off a 50cm piece from his 6m board, and then he divided the rest of the board in five equal pieces . How long was each piece?

First, let's calculate how much of the board Rick had left after cutting off the 50cm piece. The original length of the board was 6 meters, which is equivalent to 600 centimeters (since 1 meter = 100 centimeters). After cutting off a 50cm piece, he had 600cm - 50cm = 550cm of the board remaining. Now, Rick divided the remaining board into five equal pieces. To find the length of each piece, you can simply divide the remaining length (550cm) by the number of pieces (5): Length of each piece = Total remaining length / Number of pieces Length of each piece = 550cm / 5 = 110cm So, each of the five equal pieces is 110 centimeters long.
