Question

Marcus needs to cut a 5 yard length of yarn into equal pieces for his art project. Write an equation that models the length L in yards of each piece of yarn if Marcus cuts it into P pieces?

Answer 1

For this item, since it is not given how many equal pieces of the yard length, we assume this value as y. The equation would be best if we divide 5 yards into y equal parts is,
                                 d = 100/)(3x - 0.25)

Answer 2

  d = 100/)(3x - 0.25)
