Question

Please Help: A sub shop sold sandwiches that were 1/2 a foot long. If you were to cut the sandwich into 8 equal pieces, what fraction of a foot would each piece be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The size of each piece (fraction of foot) = 1/16 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Total size = 1/2 feet

total pieces = 8

To calculate the equally sized pieces, we divide the total size by the number of pieces

$Size of each piece = \frac{Total Size}{Number of Pieces}$

=> $\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{8}$

=> $\frac{1}{2*8}$

=> $\frac{1}{16}$ feet

Therefore the size of each piece (fraction of foot) = 1/16 foot
