Question

5. The library is installing new

shelves. If the carpenter has
4/5 yard of wood to make
into 2 shelves of equal length,
how long will each shelf be?

Answer 1

2/5 yard of wood

Explanation:

4/5 for 2 equal shelves.

The shelves are equal, so we need to divide 4/5 by 2.

4/5 divided by 2 is 2/5.

(4/2=2. We then put the denominator of 5. 2/5)
