Question

Justin has a rope that has a length of 9.2 meters.

He cuts the rope into five pieces so that four pieces have an equal length and the fifth piece has a length of 1.3 meters.

What is the approximate length of each of the other four pieces of rope?

A. 2 meters B. 1 meter C. 3 meters D. 4 meters

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is A, because if you subtract 1.3 from 9.2, you would get 7.9, and after that you would divide 7.9 by 4. After doing that, you would get an answer of 1.975, which rounds up to 2.

Explanation:

1. Subtract 1.3 from 9.2

2. Take the Answer from Step 1, and divide it by 4

3. Round up your answer.
