To determine if Scott has enough rope, we need to calculate the total length of rope required for 9 pieces, each measuring 0.89 metres long.

1. Calculate the total length needed:
   $$
   \text{Total length needed} = \text{Number of pieces} \times \text{Length of each piece}
   $$
   $$
   \text{Total length needed} = 9 \times 0.89 = 8.01 \text{ metres}
   $$

2. Compare the total length needed with the length of the rope Scott has:
   - Scott has 8 metres of rope.
   - He needs 8.01 metres of rope.

Since 8.01 metres is greater than 8 metres, Scott does not have enough rope to cut 9 pieces of 0.89 metres each.

**Conclusion:** No, Scott will not have enough rope. He needs 8.01 metres, but he only has 8 metres.
No, Scott will not have enough rope. He needs 8.01 metres, but he only has 8 metres.
