Answer:

12 rolls

Explanation:

Jason wants to cut roll into pieces that are each 1/2 inches thick. 1/2 is equal to 0.5, so thickness of each roll is 0.5 inches

Total length of the roll is 6 inches. We have to find how many small 0.5 inch rolls can he cut.

In simple words we can say that we have to find: how many 0.5 inches can be out from 6 inches. This type of problem is solved by division. Dividing 6 inches by 0.5 inches will give us: How many 0.5 inches can be cut out from 6 inches i.e. how many 0.5 inches roll can be made from 6 inches roll

6 divided by 0.5 is 12.

This means Jason can cut 12 rolls of sausages each with thickness of 0.5 inches from a roll of 6 inches.
