To solve this problem, you can use drawing to visually represent the length of the rope and divide it equally between Eric and Frank.
1. Start by drawing a horizontal line to represent the full length of the rope.
--------
2. Label the ends of the line with the names Eric and Frank.
Eric ----------------------------------------- Frank
3. Now, you need to divide the rope equally between them. Since they want to share 4/3 feet of rope, you can mark off this length on the line.
Eric ----------- 4/3 ft ----------- Frank
4. To divide the rope equally, you can draw a vertical line from the middle of the horizontal line to the bottom.
Eric -----------|--- 4/3 ft ---|------- Frank
5. Now, you can see that each portion of the rope on either side of the vertical line is equal in length. To find out the length of rope that each friend should get, measure the distance from the left end to the vertical line and from the vertical line to the right end.
Eric -----------|--- 4/3 ft ---|------- Frank
Eric's length Frank's length
6. Measure the length of each portion and write down the measurements.
Eric -----------|--- 4/3 ft ---|------- Frank
2/3 ft 2/3 ft
Therefore, Eric should get a length of 2/3 feet of rope, and Frank should also get a length of 2/3 feet of rope.
