Question

A 10 2/3 inch long pipe is cut into 8 equal length pieces how long is each piece

Answer 1

So we divide 10 and 2/3 by 8:


`10(2)/(3) /8`

first let's make the first number a fraction so that we're not too confused;77
`[tex]((10*3)+2)/(3) /8`


and calculate:


`((32)/(3) /8`

now we can multiply 8 by the denominator:


`(32)/(3*8)`

and simplify:


`(4)/(3*1)`

and that's the answer!

we can also say that it's 1 and
`(1)/(3)` long (1.(3))


`1 (1)/(3)`
