Kayla had a 14-foot rope that she cut into three pieces. Now two of the pieces are the same length, and the third piece is 2 feet long
What is your question?
possibly 5,7,2
(14 - 2) / 2 = ________ feet long
To find the length of each of the two equal pieces, follow these steps:
1. Start by subtracting the length of the third piece (2 feet) from the total length of the rope (14 feet): 14 - 2 = 12 feet.
2. Since the remaining length (12 feet) needs to be divided into two equal pieces, divide it by 2: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 feet.
Therefore, the length of each of the two equal pieces is 6 feet.
