To find out how much of the chain each member will make, you need to divide the total length of the chain by the number of members.
In this case, there are 8 members of the club and the chain is 4 feet long.
To find the length of the chain that each member will make, you can divide the total length of the chain (4 feet) by the number of members (8):
4 feet รท 8 members = 0.5 feet
So, each member will make 0.5 feet of the chain.
