The population ten years ago was 6,000.

Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2

12,000 / 2 = 6,000

Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope.

To write this type of fraction = 2 + 1/3 - The integer 2 in the expression is the amount of feet of rope that was cut.

Thus to know the number of 1/2 foot pieces produced, let this number be x. Thus, we have 1/2 of x pieces = 2

  x/2 = 2; x = 2x2 = 4.

Thus, Sanmi has 4 pieces of 1/2 foot long piece each of rope.
