Question

An 11-inch string is cut into 3 equal pieces. Which expression shows the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Length of each piece:

$11 \div 3 = \dfrac{11}{3} = 3\dfrac{2}{3} \text { inches}$

Answer 2

Sense this string would only be 11 (in), and we are cutting it into 3 pieces, this would show us that we would then be dividing the 11 (in) string into 3 pieces. The expression would be below.

$\boxed{11\div3}$
