Final answer:
Chloe can cut six one ninth meter pieces from a two thirds meter loaf of French bread by dividing the two lengths, resulting in six equal pieces for dinner.
Step-by-step explanation:
Chloe has a two thirds meter loaf of French bread and cuts it into one ninth meter pieces for dinner. To find out how many pieces she can cut for dinner, we will divide the total length of the bread by the size of each cut piece.
The calculation is as follows:
- Convert the lengths into fractions that have the same denominator to make the division easier. In this case, we convert two thirds (⅓) to six ninths (⅖) because both numerators and denominators need to be in the same terms.
- Divide six ninths (⅖) by one ninth (⅙) to find out how many one ninth meter pieces you can get from a six ninth meter loaf.
- The division is straightforward because the denominators are the same. So, six ninths divided by one ninth is just six divided by one, which equals six.
Therefore, Chloe can cut six pieces of French bread for dinner.
