Carmen has a rope 54 feet long. She wants to cut it into 6-foot lengths to make jump ropes for the members of the jump roping team. How many jump ropes can Carmen make?

You have 54 feet total, and you need to 'cut it up' into 6 foot pieces. You can rephrase this as 54/6 because division is cutting it up. 54/6 is 9.
