Since James has 822 feet of rope all we have to do is divide that among 19 different teams.

Definitions

Division - Division, otherwise known as the inverse of multiplication separates a certain number into what it has been divided by.

Fraction - A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters.

Improper Fraction - An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. For example,
(3)/(2) is an improper fraction, but 2/3 is a proper fraction, whose denominator is greater than the numerator.

Mixed Number - A mixed number is a whole number, and a proper fraction represented together. It generally represents a number between any two whole numbers. Look at the given image, it represents a fraction that is greater than 1 but less than 2.

Now we can solve this equation

  1. Step one - Division
    822/19=(822)/(19)
  2. Step two - Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number
    822/19=43
    R5
  3. Step three - Turn the remainder back into a fraction
    43 (5)/(19)

Your answer is
43(5)/(19)
