Question

Taylor is decorating for a party. She cuts 5 equal-length streamers from a strip of yellow paper that is 9 feet long. How long is each streamer in fraction form?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 4/5 feet

Explanation:

Length of the strip of yellow paper = 9 feet.

Number of streamers that were cut = 5

Length of each streamer will then be:

= Length of the strip of yellow paper = 9 feet / Number of streamers that were cut

= 9 feet / 5

= 1 4/5 feet
