Question

If 11 1/2 inches of rope is being cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces, how many pieces of rope can be cut?

Answer 1

Answer:

➡7pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that x = the number of ropes that can be cut.

➡$X = 11\frac{1}{2} ÷ 1\frac{1}{2}$

➡$X = 11.5 ÷ 11.5$

➡$X \approx 7.66$

➡$X = \bf 7pieces$

Answer 2

Answer:

7 whole pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 11.5 inches of rope.

Length of a piece = 1.5 inches

No . of pieces = total / unit length

= 11.5 / 1.5

= 7.667

There will be 7 whole pieces
