Question

Yousef is cutting pieces of construction paper so he can make cards for his family. Each piece of paper is 1112 inches wide. If he cuts that width so he would have two equal-sized smaller pieces, how wide will each smaller piece be?

Answer 1

556 inches

The width of the construction paper is 1112 inches wide ;

Cutting the width to obtain two equal sized smaller pieces ;
