An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The number of sections that Mario can cut from the rope is 6.
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
Let the number of 8 1/4 - inch sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope be x.
Since the total length of the rope is 7 feet, which is equal to 84 inches(1 foot=12 inches), the instructions are to use 34.5 inches of the rope to tie a tarp on top of the tent. Therefore, the rope for the 8 1/4 inches section is,
Rope left = 84 inches - 34.5 inches
Since the length of a single section is 8 1/4 inches(8.25 inches), therefore the number of sections that can be made from the remaining section is,
The number of sections, n = Rope left/8.25 inches
= (84 -34.5)inches /8.25 inches
= 6
Hence, the number of sections that Mario can cut from the rope is 6.
