Question

Rusty has 74 foot piece of rope that he needs to cut into two equal pieces how long will each piece be

Answer 1

What the prompt gives you is : Rusty has a 74-foot rope in total which you need to cut in half (in other words, divide it by 2) and see how many feet are in each of the equal pieces.

So,
74 / 2 = 37

Each piece would be 37 feet long.

Answer 2

I'm just gonna say 37 feet each due to it being 74ft to begin with.
