Question

Sophia's building a skateboard ramp how many 2/5 ft long pieces can she cut from a 4 ft piece of wood what is the division expression
A. 1/4 divided by 2/5
B. 2/5 / 1/4
C. 2/5 / 4
D. 4 / 2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 4/(2/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if the wood was 8ft long, and was cut into 4 foot long segments, you would divide 8 by 4 to get 2, which is the logical answer. Use the same thinking here. In other words, divide the large piece into smaller pieces.

For this one, divide 4 (large) by 2/5 (small).

If simplification is needed you can make 10 pieces.
