Question

A piece of lorice is to be cut into 10 equal-size pieces. if the lenght of tbe piece of licoricee is 2/3 yard, how long will each piece of licorice

Answer 1

Hey there!

To find how long each licorice piece will be after splitting it into 10 equal parts knowing that its overall length is 2/3 yards, you must first set up this expression:
2/3÷10

Now, to divide the expression, find the reciprocal of the divisor and change the expression to a multiplication expression:
2/3÷10
2/3*1/10

Finally, multiply straight across the numerator and denominator:
2/3*1/10=2/30

Therefore, your final answer would be that each piece of licorice is 2/30 yards long.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!
