Question

Jacob cut a 126 centimeter rope into 4 equal pieces. How long is each new piece of rope?

Answer 1

126/4 = 31.5 each piece of rope is 31.5 centimeters

Answer 2

Answer:

31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob cut a 126 centimeter rope.

You can break up the large number into pieces to help you solve your problem.

In the number 126, there is 100, 20, and 6.

Dividing 100 by 4 gives you 25.

When you divide 20 by four, you get 5.

Then we have 6. to make it easier, you can remove 4 from that number and once again divide that by four to get 1.

We have only the number 2 left. Dividing 2 by gives you 0.5

Now lets see what numbers we have:

25, 5, 1, 0.5

Add these together to get your number, 31.5
