Question

Zoe cuts a raffia 4/5 meters long into 8 pieces of equal length. What is the length of each piece of raffia? Give answer in meters.
Please tell me the final answer and how you got it.

Answer 1

To find the answer, I first changed 4/5 into a decimal.
4/5 = 0.8

Next divided 0.8 with 8 because you are cutting the 4/5 meter raffis into 8 equal pieces.
0.8/8 = 0.1 meters

And if you need it in fraction form, its: 1/10 meters

Finished!
