The length of the segment AB is 18 cm. 5 points are marked on the segment

The length of the segment AB is 18 cm. 5 points are marked on the segment, dividing this segment into equal parts. What is the length of each resulting segment?

According to the condition of the problem, the length of the segment AB is 18 cm and 5 points are marked on this segment, dividing this segment into equal parts.

If 5 points are marked on a given segment, then these points divide this segment into 6 parts.

Since the lengths of all these parts of the segment AB are equal to each other, all together they form the segment AB and their total length is 18 cm, the length of one such part is:

18/6 = 3 cm.

Answer: the length of each resulting segment is 3 cm.
