Question

Rupali has a piece of string that is 5/8 yard long. She wants to cut the string into 4 equal pieces. How long should each piece be?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{32}$ yard long should each pieces be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Rupali has a piece of string i.e, of length $\frac{5}{8}$ yard.

As she wants to cut string into 4 equal pieces.

Then, from the given conditions,

Divide the length of the String by 4;

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{5}{8}$ yard

$\frac{5}{4\cdot8} =\frac{5}{32}$

Therefore, each piece should be of length , $\frac{5}{32}$ yard
