Question

Jen has 2 meters of taffy. She wants to give each of her three best friends in equal amount of taffy how many centimeters of taffy will each friend get it? Write your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Given: 2 meters = The length of the taffy that Jen has
1/3 of two meters = measurements of each of her three best friends
? = 1/3 of two meters
? = 1/3 of two meters converted to centimeters
First, we need to get how long 1/3 of 2 meters is. So 2 multiplied by 1/3 is 0.67 meters. So each of her friends gets 0.67 meters. And 0.67 meters in centimeters is 67 meters. 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
In fraction, each friend will get 67/200 centimeters.
