A board is two thirds yard long cut into six equal pieces how long is each piece
2/3 yard = 2 feet
2/6 = 1/3 foot = 4 inches
To find the length of each piece, you need to divide the total length of the board by the number of equal pieces it is cut into.
Given that the board is two-thirds yard long and cut into six equal pieces, you can follow these steps to find the length of each piece:
Step 1: Convert the length of the board to a common unit. Since we are dealing with yards, we need to convert two-thirds yard to yards. To do this, multiply the length in yards by the fraction of the conversion factor.
2/3 yard = (2/3) * 1 yard = 2/3 yard
Step 2: Divide the total length of the board (in yards) by the number of equal pieces it is cut into.
Length of each piece = Total length of the board / Number of equal pieces
Length of each piece = 2/3 yard / 6 = (2/3) / 6 = 2/3 * 1/6 = 2/18 = 1/9 yard
Therefore, each piece is 1/9 yard long.
