Jack is decorating for a party. He has 125 feet of paper streamers to use over 3 doorways. He will use the same amount for each door. How many feet will he use in each?
125 divided by 3 equals what? i think that is how you will find the answer if you get it wrong, sorry!
41.66 ft
To figure out how many feet Jack will use for each doorway, you need to divide the total length of paper streamers (125 feet) by the number of doorways (3).
So the equation would be:
Length of paper streamers per doorway = Total length of paper streamers / Number of doorways
Plugging in the values:
Length of paper streamers per doorway = 125 feet / 3 doorways
To divide between 125 by 3, you can use long division or a calculator.
125 รท 3 = 41.666...
Since we can't use a fraction of a foot for streamers, we'll have to round the result. Let's round it to the nearest whole number.
So, Jack will use approximately 42 feet of paper streamers for each doorway.
