A piece of wire 27/32 inches in length is cut into 3 equal pieces . How long is each piece
27/32 , 3/1 =81/32 =27
Is this right
No. The wire is less than an inch long.
(27/32) / 3
(27/32) (1/3) = 27/96 = 9/32
No, your calculation is not correct. To find the length of each piece, you need to divide the total length of the wire (27/32 inches) by the number of pieces it is cut into (3).
To do this, you can divide the numerator (27) by 3 and the denominator (32) by 3:
27 ÷ 3 = 9
32 ÷ 3 = (10 + 2) ÷ 3 = 10/3
Therefore, each piece will be 9/10 inches in length.
