How many 2/9 inch pieces can be cut from a piece of yarn that is 6 inches long
6 / (2/9)
6 * (9/2) = 54/2 = 27
A piece of yarn is 6 3/4 feet long.I need to cut it up into 4 pieces, how long would each piece be?
To determine how many 2/9 inch pieces can be cut from a 6-inch long piece of yarn, we need to divide the total length of the yarn by the length of each piece.
First, let's convert 2/9 inches into decimal form. To do this, divide 2 by 9:
2 ÷ 9 = 0.222222222...
So, the length of each piece is approximately 0.222 inches.
Next, we can calculate the number of pieces by dividing the total length of the yarn by the length of each piece:
6 inches ÷ 0.222 inches ≈ 27.027 pieces
Therefore, you can cut approximately 27 pieces of 2/9 inch from a 6-inch long piece of yarn.
