Question

A piece of rope is 33 1/3 yards long and was cut into equal pieces. How many yards was each piece?

Answer 1

11 ¹/₉ yards

Explanation:

You didn't say how many pieces. My answer is for 3 equal pieces.
`33\frac13/3=(33+\frac13)/3=33/3+\frac13/3=11+\frac13*\frac13=11+\frac19=11\frac19`

For two it would be:

`33\frac13/2=(33+\frac13)/2=33/2+\frac13/2=16\frac12+\frac13*\frac12=\\\\=16\frac36+\frac16=16\frac46=16\frac23`
