Answer

\text{600 cm}

3 steps

Identify the given values.
The length of each small piece is $25 \text{ cm}$ .
The total number of pieces is 24.
Calculate the initial length of the steel bar.
The initial length is the product of the length of each piece and the total number of pieces.
$\text{Initial length} = \text{Length of each piece} \times \text{Number of pieces}$ $\text{Initial length} = 25 \text{ cm} \times 24$ $\text{Initial length} = 600 \text{ cm}$
Convert the length to meters (optional, but good practice for larger lengths).
Since $1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm}$ , we can convert $600 \text{ cm}$ to meters.
$\text{Initial length} = \frac{600 \text{ cm}}{100 \text{ cm/m}}$ $\text{Initial length} = 6 \text{ m}$
The initial length of the steel bar is $600 \text{ cm}$ or $6 \text{ m}$ .
