Answer:
First, convert the length of the rope to inches: 2 feet * 12 inches/foot + 6 inches = 24 + 6 = 30 inches.
The ratio 2:3:5 can be expressed as a fraction: 2/(2+3+5), 3/(2+3+5), and 5/(2+3+5).
Now, calculate the length of each piece:
- Piece 1: 2/(2+3+5) * 30 inches
- Piece 2: 3/(2+3+5) * 30 inches
- Piece 3: 5/(2+3+5) * 30 inches
