Answer:

Eight pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a number line running from 0 to 4/6.

Label the divisions as 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, and 4/6.

Divide each section in half to get small pieces of length 1/12.

Starting at zero, move to 4/6 on the number line and count the number of pieces as you go.

You count eight pieces, so Dario has eight pieces of rope.
