Final answer:

Nadia has 3/5 of a yard of fabric, and each section will be 0.9 feet long after cutting it into two equal pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves Nadia having 3/5 of a yard of fabric and wanting to cut it into 2 equal pieces. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, first we convert yards to feet to understand the measurement in a smaller unit. Nadia has 3/5 * 3 feet of fabric, which simplifies to 9/5 feet or 1.8 feet. To find the length of each section after cutting, we divide this length by 2, giving us 9/10 feet or 0.9 feet for each piece. Therefore, each of the two sections will be 0.9 feet long.
