Answer:

Find out the which expression shows the length of each piece .

To prove

As given

A 12 foot board is split into 5 equal pieces.

Than

$Length\ of\ each\ piece = (Total\ length\ of\ board)/(Total\ number\ of\ pieces)$

Here

Total length of board = 12 foot

Total number of pieces = 5

$Length\ of\ each\ piece = (12)/(5)$

$Length\ of\ each\ piece = 2.4\ foot$

Therefore the length of each pieces is 2.4 foot.
