Question

Eduardo has a wooden dowel rod that is StartFraction 8 Over 15 EndFraction of a yard long that he needs to cut into 24 equal-length pieces. What is the length of each piece of dowel rod?

Answer 1

Answer:The length of each piece of dowel rod = yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The length of each piece of dowel rod =
`(1)/(45)` yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the wooden dowel rod =
`(8)/(15)` yards.

Eduardo needs to cut the rod into 24 equal length pieces, thus;

length of each piece of the dowel rod =
`(length of the dowel rod)/(24)`

=
`(8)/(15)` ÷ 24

=
`(8)/(15)` x
`(1)/(24)`

=
`(1)/(15)` x
`(1)/(3)`

=
`(1)/(45)`

length of each piece of the dowel rod =
`(1)/(45)` yards

Therefore, the length of each piece of dowel rod is
`(1)/(45)` yards.
