Mr. Brown has a piece of hose 11 ft long. He is going to cut it into 15 equal-length pieces.
(11 * 12) / 15 = _______ inches
Hi I really hopes this helps. So from what I understand your asking for 11 times 12 divided by 15.
So, 11 times 12=132
and 132 divided by 15 is 8.8
if you round then 9.
You don't want to round in this case. Each piece will be 8.8 inches long.
Sorry I wasn't entirely sure if rounding was needed. My mistake-sorry!
To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the total length of the hose (11 ft) by the number of pieces (15). This will give us the length of each individual piece.
So, we can use the formula:
Length of each piece = Total length / Number of pieces
Substituting the values:
Length of each piece = 11 ft / 15 pieces
Calculating this division:
Length of each piece ≈ 0.733 ft
Therefore, each equal-length piece of hose will be approximately 0.733 ft long.
