Question

Mrs. Jones buys 50 yards of material for her students. She cuts the material into 15 pieces. How long is each piece to the nearest tenth of a yard?

Answer 1

Each piece of material is approximately 3.3 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each piece, we divide the total length of the material by the number of pieces. Mrs. Jones bought 50 yards of material and cut it into 15 pieces. Therefore, each piece is:

50 yards ÷ 15 pieces = 3.33 yards

So, each piece is approximately 3.3 yards long to the nearest tenth of a yard.
