Question

A 2 2/5 foot long sandwich is cut evenly into 6 sections. How long is each section?

Answer 1

Each section is 0.4 feet OR 451/64 inches.

Answer 2

First, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

`2(2)/(5) = (12)/(5)`

Divide the improper fraction by 6 since the sandwhich will be cut into 6 even sections.

`(12/6)/(5) = (2)/(5)`

Thus, each section is 2/5 feet long. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
