A worker has a board that is 6 yards long. He cut it into 3 equal pieces. How many inches long is each piece?
Many wrong answers were posted. Please have patience and wait for an actual math tutor.
To find out how many inches long each piece is, we need to convert yards to inches.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches.
So, 6 yards would be equal to 6 x 36 = 216 inches.
Since the board was cut into 3 equal pieces, each piece would be 216 / 3 = 72 inches long.
Therefore, each piece would be 72 inches long.
To find the length of each piece in inches, we first need to convert yards to inches.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, to convert 6 yards to inches, we multiply:
6 yards * 36 inches/yard = 216 inches
Next, we divide the total length in inches by the number of equal pieces.
216 inches / 3 pieces = 72 inches
So, each piece is 72 inches long.
