The boy scouts brought 12 meters of rope.theycut one half into pieces of two third in each..how many pieces did they make
I assume the scouts cut the pieces into 2/3 yards each.
6/(2/3) = 6 * (3/2) = 18/2 = 9
To find out how many pieces the boy scouts made, we need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the length of the rope cut into pieces. Since they cut one half of the rope, we calculate 1/2 * 12 meters = 6 meters.
2. Calculate the length of each piece. The rope was divided into pieces, with each piece measuring two-thirds of a meter. So, we calculate 6 meters / (2/3 meters) = 6 meters * (3/2) = 18 pieces.
Therefore, the boy scouts made 18 pieces.
