An electrician cut 3 5/8 yards of wire into six equal sections. After cutting, how long was each piece?

Answer 1

29/48

Explanation:

3 5/8 Divided By 6= 29/48

Dividing fractions is simple if you know what to do, and how to multiply.

Here's how:

-----------------------------

1. convert any whole number or mixed number into a fraction.

6 = 6/1.

Whole number x denominator + numerator = 29/8

(3) (8) (5) (answer/original denominator)

-----------------------------

2. Keep, Change, Flip (KCF)

29 1

__ x __

8 6

With KCF, we keep the first fraction, change the division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

---------------------------------------

3. Multiply numerators and denominators

29 x 1 = 29

__

8 x 6 = 48

29/48 is in it's simplest form.

Hence, your answer.

Each wired piece was 29/48 of a yard.
