Answer:
The length of each piece of dowel rod = [tex]\frac{1}{45}[/tex] yards.
Explanation:
Length of the wooden dowel rod = [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex] yards.
Eduardo needs to cut the rod into 24 equal length pieces, thus;
length of each piece of the dowel rod = [tex]\frac{length of the dowel rod}{24}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex] ÷ 24
= [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{45}[/tex]
length of each piece of the dowel rod = [tex]\frac{1}{45}[/tex] yards
Therefore, the length of each piece of dowel rod is [tex]\frac{1}{45}[/tex] yards.
