Question

yuri has a rope 12 meters long. he cuts it into pieces that are each 2 meters long. what fraction of the rope is one piece

Answer 1

2/12
1/6
it's either the first one or the second one they r the same

Answer 2

The answer is $\dfrac{1}{6}$.

The rope is 12 meters long and each piece cut out is 2 meters long.

So we know that each piece measures 2 meters out of the 12 meters. With this alone we can make a fraction:

2 out of 12:

$\dfrac{2}{12}$

This can be simplified further by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.

$\dfrac{2\div 2}{12\div2} = \dfrac {1}{6}$

Each piece is one-sixth of the rope.
