How many pieces 3/7 of a foot each can I make out of 7/2 feet of rope?
all the answers are incorrect. it's a simple equation. 7/2 divided by 3/7. in order to do this you have to switch the 3/7 to 7/3. you do 7/2 x 7/3 which is 49/6. simplify that and you get 8 and 1/6 pieces. your final answer is 8 pieces.
To find out how many pieces of 3/7 of a foot each can be made out of 7/2 feet of rope, you need to divide the total length of the rope (7/2 feet) by the length of each piece (3/7 of a foot).
To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, we'll multiply 7/2 by the reciprocal of 3/7, which is 7/3.
(7/2) * (7/3) = (49/6) feet
Therefore, you can make (49/6) pieces of 3/7 of a foot each out of 7/2 feet of rope.
7/15
if 2 times 5=10 and we need to divided by what is 10 divided by 2?
You can make 5 2 foot each ropes.
(7/2)/(3/7) = 7/2 * 3/7 = 3/2
or, 1.5 pieces.
You let the fractions scare you. I expect you could solve the problem using easier numbers:
How many pieces of 2 feet each can I make out of 10 feet of rope?
