Question

How many peices that are exactly 5 inches long can sue cut from a string that is 7 feet long

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

7 feet x 12 inches/foot = 84 inches

Then we divide the total length of the string (84 inches) by the length of each piece (5 inches) to get the total number of pieces:

84 inches / 5 inches per piece = 16.8 pieces

Since we cannot have a fractional number of pieces, we round down to the nearest whole number to get the final answer:

16 pieces
