Russell has a pipe that is 150inches long. It must be cut into 3 1/8 inch segments for a project. How many segments will he have?
150 / 3.125 = ?
Please kindly help me.
Question:
1.Russell has a pipe that is 150 inches long. it must be cut into 3 1/8 inches segments for project. How many segments will he have?
2. Rebeckah is an elementary school teacher. she is making an individual craft project kits that requires 2/3 of a cup of water to complete. How many cups of water will she needs if she is making the craft project kits for each of her 24 students?
3. To paint the walls of the new gym, Russell and Roger took measurements. based on their calculations, they determined they needed 361/3 gallons of paint. Change this number to a kix number.
4. A recipe from Oma's German cookbook for a scallopes potato tart requires 9 1/2 grams of grated cheese. How many grams of cheese would she need if she made one tart for each of her 14 grandchildren?
Did you get the answer to the first question?
150 / 3.125 = ?
Ms.Sue,
is the answer for the 1st question was 150/3.25=? Thank you Ms. Sue
my second questions is
Rebeckah is an elementary school teacher. she is making an individual craft project kits that requires 2/3 of a cup of water to complete. How many cups of water will she needs if she is making the craft project kits for each of her 24 students?
/ means divide.
You need to divide 150 by 3.25
Your second question has already been answered twice.
To find the number of segments, you need to divide the total length of the pipe by the length of each segment.
Given:
Total length of the pipe = 150 inches
Length of each segment = 3 1/8 inches
To divide a mixed number by a fraction, you need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Let's convert 3 1/8 to an improper fraction:
3 1/8 = (3 * 8 + 1) / 8 = 25/8.
Now we can divide the total length by the length of each segment:
Number of segments = Total length of the pipe / Length of each segment
= 150 inches / 25/8 inches
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so:
Number of segments = 150 inches * 8 inches / 25
= (150 * 8) / 25
= 1200 / 25
= 48.
Therefore, Russell will have 48 segments.
