Question

Dari divides 4/6 yards of rope equally into 1/12 yards pieces for a craft project. How manpieces of rope does Dario have ?

Answer 1

Division is all about equal sharing. This problem is about dividing one fraction by another.

$\frac{4}{6}$
yards of rope has been divided equally in to
$\frac{1}{12}$
yards pieces. Expressing this with the division symbol gives;

$\frac{4}{6} \div \frac{1}{12}$

We now multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of
$\frac{1}{12}$

This implies that

$\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{12}{1}$

This gives us,

$\frac{4}{1} \times \frac{2}{1} = 8$
Hence Dario will have 8 equal pieces of rope.

Answer 2

Answer: Dario has 8 pieces of rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to divide the length of the rope (4/6 yards ) by the length of the pieces ( 1/12 yards ).

So:

$\frac{4}{6}\div \frac{1 }{12}$

Inverting the second part, we can multiply:

$\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{12}{1} = \frac{48}{6}$

Now simplifyng by 6

8/1.

Dario has 8 pieces of rope
