To find the length of each piece of rope, you need to divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces Jake wants.
In this case, Jake needs 9 pieces of rope and the total length of the rope is 8 yards. To find the length of each piece, you divide 8 yards by 9:
8 yards รท 9 = 0.88888889 yards
So, each piece of rope is approximately 0.88888889 yards long.
