1,405ft 1 and 3/4in.cut into 1/2 in.thick slices.how many slices are there?
1,405ft 1 and 3/4in = 16,861 3/4 inches
(16,861 3/4) * 2 = 33,723.5 pieces
To determine the number of slices, we need to find out how many half-inch increments are within the length of the original piece.
First, let's convert the measurements to a common unit. Since both the original length and the slice thickness are given in inches, we can work with inches directly.
The original length: 1,405ft 1 and 3/4in.
To convert feet to inches, we multiply the number of feet by 12 and then add the additional inches.
1,405ft = (1,405 * 12) inches = 16,860 inches
1 and 3/4in = 1.75 inches (since 3/4 = 0.75 when expressed as a decimal)
Now, let's find out how many half-inch increments fit within the original length:
16,860 inches รท 0.5 inches = 33,720
Therefore, there are 33,720 slices when the 1,405ft 1 and 3/4in piece is cut into 1/2in thick slices.
