Question

A coil of rope 603 feet long is cut into 25 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?

Express you'r answer as a mixed number and as a decimal.

Answer 1

We will first divide the total number of rope divide by the amount of equal pieces.

603 ÷ 25 = 24.12

So, the decimal form is 24.12.

Lets convert the decimal to a mixed number.


`(24.12)/(1)`

`(24.12 * 10 * 10 = 2412)/(1 * 10 * 10 = 100)`

`(2412)/(100)`

`(603)/(25)`

`24(3)/(25)`

So, the decimal form is 24.12 feet. and the mixed number form is
`24 (3)/(25)`.

Hope I helped ya!!!

Answer 2

Well you would take the total amount of the length of rope you have and divide it by how many parts you're cutting into. So 603/25... mixed number: 24 3/25 ft long; Decimal: 24.12 ft long!
