Question

Joyce has a piece of plastic tubing that is 1/6 of a foot long. If she cuts the tubing into three equal sections, which equation shows how long each section will be

Answer 1

Answer: The required expression is $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of piece of plastic tubing = $\dfrac{1}{6}\times 1\ foot=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 12=2\ inches$

Number of equal sections = 3

So, Length of  each section would be

$\dfrac{Total\ length}{Number\ of\ sections}$

$=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Hence, the required expression is $\dfrac{2}{3}$
