Question

a piece of licorice is to be cut into 10 equal size pieces. if the length of the piece of licorice is 2/3 yard, how long will each piece of licorice be?

Answer 1

Sooo, 2/3 of a yard is 2 feet because a yard is 3 feet. If you need 10 of the same pieces and you convert feet to inches you would have 24 inches. 24/10= 2.4. Each piece of licorice would need to be 2.4 inches long if you wanted the same length.
