The problem states that "Jordan <u>cuts</u> a long piece of string into 6 <u>equal</u> <u>pieces</u>. Each piece is 2.5 feet long. Which equation can you use to find the length s of the long piece of string <u>before</u>Jordan cuts it?"
Cut.ting the string indicates that we must use division. And since there is only <u>one</u>answer choice that uses division, we now know our answer.
The answer is B.
Hope this helps! Brainliest would be much appreciated! Have a great day! :)
I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.
