Question

Isaac has a piece of rope that is 5 yards long into how many 1/2 yard pieces of rope can Isaac Cut the Rope

Answer 1

You can cut 1/2 yard pieces from a 5 yard piece of rope 10 times, because 5/ 1/2 = 10.

Answer 2

To find out the amount of 1/2 yard pieces that Isaac can cut from a 5-yard long length of rope, all we need to do is divide 5 by 1/2 to get our answer (since that is what he is doing, dividing a 5-yard long piece of rope into 1/2 yard long pieces).

5 / (1/2) = 10

Isaac can cut 10 1/2-yard pieces of rope from the original rope.
Hope that helped! =)
