Question

Jen has 2 meters of taffy. She wants to give each of her 3 best friends an equal amount of taffy. How many centimeters of taffy will each friend get? Write your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

 The first thing we must do for this case is to take into account the following conversion:
 $1 m = 100 cm$
 Applying the conversion we have that 2 meters is equivalent to:
 $2 * 100 = 200 cm$
 Dividing into three equal parts we have:
 $200/3 = 198/3 + 2/3$
 Rewriting we have:
 66 2/3 cm
 Answer:
 The amount for each friend is:
 66 2/3 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

$= 66\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Jen has 2 meters of taffy

She wants to give each of her 3 best friends an equal amount of taffy.

To Find:  How many centimeters of taffy will each friend get?

Solution :

Since we know that :

1 meter = 100 cm

Since Jen has 2 meters of taffy

So, after applying the conversion :

2 meters = 2*100 = 200 cm

So, Jen has 200 cm of taffy

Now she wants to divide taffy equally in her three friend

So, each friend will get taffy  $=\frac{200}{3}$

                                               $= 66\frac{2}{3}$

Thus each friend will get  $66\frac{2}{3} cm$ of taffy
