Nina has a stick 5 ft. long. She saw it into 8 equal length pieces. How long will each piece be? Fraction
Would it be 5/8 or 8/5 confused
5/8 foot
1.6
To find out how long each piece will be when Nina cuts her 5 ft. stick into 8 equal length pieces, we need to divide the total length of the stick (5 ft.) by the number of pieces (8).
5/8 represents the division of 5 ft. by 8, which gives us the length of each piece. Therefore, each piece will be 5/8 ft. long.
