Jason has 1/6 yard of craft wire for a jewelry project. He cuts the craft wire into 4 pieces of the same length. What is the length, in yards, of each piece of craft wire Jason cut?

Answer:

1/24 yd

Explanation:

Since he cut the wire into 4 pieces of equal length, each piece is 1/4 the length of the original piece.

1/4 of 1/6 of a yd

1/4 × 1/6 yd = 1/24 yd
