To find:

The expressions that can you use to find the length of each piece.

Solution:

It is given that Miguel needs to cut a board that is Two-thirds of a yard long into 3 equal pieces. It means $\dfrac{2}{3}$ is divided in 3 equal parts.

$\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3$

It can be written as:

$\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}$

$\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3=\dfrac{2}{9}$

Therefore, the required expression is $\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3$ and the length of each piece is $\dfrac{2}{9}$ yards.
