Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{5 divided by 6}=\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Emma has a board this is 5 feet long. She cuts the board into 6 equal pieces.

To find the length of each piece of board, we will divide total length of board by number of pieces.

$\text{Length of each piece of the board}=\frac{5}{6}$

$\text{Length of each piece of the board}=0.833$

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Answer 2

This one is actually easy!!!

So you only have a 5 foot long board and you want to cut it into 6 equal pieces the only thing you can do is divide.

It is not A Because that it is making more.

It is not B because that is ubtracting and it would not be equal.

It would not be C it is the incorrect steps.

It is D because your supposed to do  5 divided by 6 to make it equal pieces 5 divided by 6 = .83. and 6 x .83 = 4.9999 which is 5.

Answer is D give me brainliest
