Question

Samantha has 124 ft of yarn. She wants to cut the yarn into equal pieces to give 17 students. How much yarn will she give each student's?

Answer 1

She can give 7.29 ft or 7.3 ft of yarn to her 17 students given that the total measurement of the yarn is 124 ft.

solution:

124ft/17students   - the operation used is division, dived 124ft w/c is the                                        measurement of the yarn by 17 students. 
7.294117647058824 - simplify the answer by rounding it off, at least one or                                       two decimal points; making it 7.29 ft or 7.3ft
