Paco has 2 1/3 feet of rope. If he cuts the rope into pieces that are each 1/2 foot long, there will be 1/3 foot of rope left ov
er. How many 1/2 foot pieces will he have?
2 answers:
He will have 4 1/2 foot pieces of rope
To calculate this, we need to divide 2 by 1/2.
To make this simpler, say you have 2 pizzas and cut each pizza in half. How much halfs will you have? You will have four halfs. Same with the rope. You will have 4G pieces of rope. I attached an image that I hope will help :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 consecutive integers represented as variables:
x, x + 1
Greater one: x + 1
Lesser one: x
Write as an equation
2(Greater) + 13 = 3(Lesser)
Substitute in known values
2(x + 1) + 13 = 3(x)
Multiply
2x + 2 + 13 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
2 + 13 = x
Add 2 + 13 to simplify
x = 15
Lesser = x = 15
Greater = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
Hope this helps :)
