Question

A pipe is 30 feet long. It needs to be cut into pieces that are each 1/2 feet long. How many pieces can be made from the pipe?

Answer 1

Answer: 60/30 pipes

1/2 is 50% of the number 1/a whole.

That means you can make two pipes from 1 foot.

So, we multiply 30 by 2.

30 x 2 = 60.

The number of pipes is 30, but you can make 60.

So, the fraction would be 60/30.

The answer to the question is 60/30.

Hope this helps!
