Myra has a 17 foot roll of crepe paper to make 8 streamers to decorate for a party. How long will each streamer be if she cuts the roll into equal pieces?

The streamer will be 2.125 ft long
U just divide 17 by 8 which should equal 2.125 and then if u want it to be in fraction u
125/1000 which equals 1/8 so it is 2 and 1/8
