Question

To kick off the summer, Colton is planning a "School's Out!" party for all his friends. He and his mom pick up a giant sub and a vat of root beer from Subs & Suds. When they get to the park, they cut the sub into 18 equal sections. Each section is 1/3 of a foot long.

Answer 1

(a)6 feet

(b)24 sections

Explanation:

(a)We are required to find the length of the Giant Sub.

If each section is 1/3 of a foot long and there are 18 equal parts.

Length of the Giant Sub =

Length per Section X Number of Sections

= 1/3 X 18 = 6 feet

(b)If each section is 1/4 of a feet long

Length of the Giant Sub =

Length per Section X Number of Sections

6= 1/4 X Number of Sections

Number of Sections =6 X 4 =24 sections
