Meg has a piece of poster board that is two and two-fifths feet wide. She needs to fold it into three equal sections. How wide will each section be?

(2 2/5) / 3

(12/5) * (1/3) = 12/15 = 4/5 foot

what is the equivalent for 2/3 divide5/6

To find the width of each section, we need to divide the total width of the poster board by the number of sections.

The total width of the poster board is given as 2 and 2/5 feet. We can convert this mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

2 and 2/5 = (2 * 5 + 2) / 5 = 12/5

Now, we can divide the width by the number of sections, which is 3:

12/5 ÷ 3 = 12/5 × 1/3 = (12 × 1) / (5 × 3) = 12/15

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

12/15 ÷ 3/3 = (12 ÷ 3)/(15 ÷ 3) = 4/5

Therefore, each section will have a width of 4/5 feet.
