Yuri has a rope 12 meters long. He cuts into pieces that are 2 meters long. What fraction of the rope is one piece?
2/12 = 1/6
Sorry, but I don't know.
Could you come help on mine Ms. Sue.
To find out what fraction of the rope is one piece, we need to divide the length of one piece by the total length of the rope.
Yuri cuts the rope into pieces that are 2 meters long. Therefore, the length of one piece is 2 meters.
The total length of the rope is 12 meters.
To find the fraction, we can divide the length of one piece by the total length of the rope:
Fraction = Length of one piece / Total length of the rope
= 2 meters / 12 meters
Now, we can simplify this fraction.
Both 2 meters and 12 meters can be divided by 2.
2 meters ÷ 2 = 1 meter
12 meters ÷ 2 = 6 meters
So the simplified fraction is:
1 meter / 6 meters
Therefore, one piece of the rope is 1/6 of the total length.
