Question

The length of a piece of wood is 2/3 of a yard. If it is cut into 10 equal pieces, how

long will each piece be?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

2.4 inches

Explanation:

A yard is 36 inches, so 2/3 yard is (2/3)(36) = 24 inches.

Each piece will be 1/10 of that length, so will be 24/10 = 2.4 inches.

Each piece will be 2.4 inches long.
