Answer:

[tex]66\frac{2}{3}[/tex] centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen has 2 meters of taffy.

She wants to give each of her 3 best friends an equal amount of taffy.

First we convert 2 meters to centimeters.

1 meter = 100 centimeters

2 meters = 100 × 2 = 200 centimeters.

Now divide 200 cm to 3 friends

Each friend get = [tex]\frac{200}{3}[/tex]

                          =  [tex]66\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Each friend will get [tex]66\frac{2}{3}[/tex] centimeters of taffy.
