Answer:

50 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the pipe is = 30 feet.

It needs to be cut into pieces that are = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] feet

We will divide 30 by  [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] feet

30 ÷  [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

= 30 ×  [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

= 10 × 5

= 50 pieces

50 pieces can be made from the 30 feet long pipe.
