Exploring Jamal's Rope Dilemma

How long is each piece of rope Jamal is cutting?

A. 16 centimeters

B. 4 centimeters

C. 64 centimeters

D. 32 centimeters

What is the total length of the entire rope before Jamal cuts it?

Final answer:

The length of the entire rope before Jamal cuts it is 64 centimeters.

To find the total length of the entire rope before Jamal cuts it into pieces, we need to consider the length of each piece and the number of pieces he is cutting it into. In this case, each piece is 16 centimeters long, and he is cutting it into fourths. By multiplying the length of each piece (16 centimeters) by 4 (number of fourths), we get the total length of the entire rope before cutting, which is 64 centimeters.
