Answer:The length of each piece of fabric is 1/8 yards.

Explanation:

Corey has a piece of fabric that is 1/4 yard long. He cuts the length into 2 equal pieces. This means that he cut 1/4 yards of fabric into two equal pieces.

An expression for the length, in yards, of each piece of fabric will be

Let the length of the fabric be x in yards. Also, let the length of each piece of fabric be y in yards. It becomes

y = x/2

Since x = 1/4

y =( 1/4)/ 2 = 1/4 × 1/2

y = 1/8

The length of each piece of fabric is 1/8 yards.
