mr conner's students made kites in science class. he brought a 500-yd bolt of twine to tie to the kites. if he wants to give each student a piece of twine 331/3 yards long. what is the maximum number of pieces of twine mr. conner will be able to make from the bolt of twine?

Divide the total length of 500 yards by the length of each piece (33-1/3 yards).

X = 500 / 33-1/3
X = 15

15

To find the maximum number of pieces of twine Mr. Conner can make from the bolt of twine, we need to divide the total length of the bolt by the desired length of each piece.

Total length of the bolt of twine: 500 yards
Desired length of each piece: 33 1/3 yards

Now, let's calculate the number of pieces:

Number of pieces = Total length / Desired length
Number of pieces = 500 yards / 33 1/3 yards

To simplify, let's convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction:

Number of pieces = 500 yards / (100/3) yards
Number of pieces = 500 yards * (3/100) yards

Now, cancel out the common factors:

Number of pieces = 500 * 3 / 100
Number of pieces = 1500 / 100
Number of pieces = 15

Therefore, Mr. Conner will be able to make a maximum of 15 pieces of twine from the bolt.

To find the maximum number of pieces of twine Mr. Conner can make from the bolt of twine, we need to divide the total length of the twine by the desired length for each piece.

Mr. Conner has a 500-yd bolt of twine, and he wants to give each student a piece of twine 331/3 yards long.

To divide a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal (flipped version) of the fraction.

So, we can calculate the maximum number of pieces of twine as follows:

500/ (331/3)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply the numerator (500) by the reciprocal of the fraction (3/331).

500 * (3/331) = (500 * 3)/331 = 1500/331

Thus, the maximum number of pieces of twine Mr. Conner can make from the bolt of twine is approximately 4.53. However, since we can't have fractional pieces, we need to round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, Mr. Conner will be able to make a maximum of 4 pieces of twine from the bolt of twine.
