Question

Riley has a piece of yarn that is 6 1 2 ft long. She wants to cut the yarn into sections that are each 1 4 ft long. How many sections will the yarn be cut into?

Answer 1

Answer: The yarn will be cut into 26 sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of piece of yarn = $6\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{13}{2}\ feet$

Length of section = $\dfrac{1}{4}\ feet$

We need to find the number of sections that will be cut into:

So, the number of sections would be

$\dfrac{13}{2}\div \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{2}\times \dfrac{4}{1}\\\\=13\times 2\\\\=26$

Hence, the yarn will be cut into 26 sections.

Answer 2

610 will be cut into
