Question

Paige has 1 ½ feet of rope for a project. She only needs 2/3 of it. How much rope does she need?

Answer 1

1 foot of rope.

Explanation:

For this problem, we need to find 2/3 of 1 ½. 1 ½ equals 3/2. Since the word "of" means multiply, we multiply 3/2 by 2/3. When we do this, we get 1. This means Paige needs 1 foot of rope. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

1 foot

Explanation:

1 1/2 = 3/2

2/3*3/2 = 1
