1
it into --foot pieces. How many pieces does she
4
have? Use the number line to help you solve the
problem.

Answer 1

Henish will have 5-1 foot pieces.

Explanation:

If I understand the question, it is divided by five to get the pieces.

Answer 2

The number of pieces of rope is 20.

Total length of rope = 5 feets

Length per piece = 1/4

The number of pieces :

• Total length ÷ Length per piece

Now we have:

5 ÷ 1/4

Evaluate :

5 × 4/1 = 20

Therefore, the number of pieces is 20.
