    Answer:

    R / 25

    Explanation:

    Let the initial length of the wire is L and its resistance is R.

    Now the length is cut into 5 equal parts.

    The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire, thus, the resistance of each portion of the wire is R/5.

    Now the five pieces are connected in parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is

    \frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}

    R_{eq}=\frac{R}{25}

    Thus, the resistance of the new cable is R / 25.
