Question

A pipe is 24 feet long. It needs to be cut into pieces that are each 3/8 feet long. How many pieces can be from the pipe.

Answer 1

The answer is 64 pieces.

We know this because if you want to get the length, we need to divide the pipe by the amount given. For example: 24 / (3/8) = 64. The answer is 64 feet long.

Answer 2

Answer: 64 pieces

Explanation:

To find out how many pieces of 3/8 feet length can be cut from a 24-foot long pipe, you need to divide the total length of the pipe by the length of each piece.

Pipe length: 24 feet

Length of each piece: 3/8 feet

Now, divide the total length of the pipe by the length of each piece:

24 feet / (3/8 feet) = 24 feet * (8/3) = 8 * 8 = 64

So, you can cut 64 pieces, each 3/8 feet long, from the 24-foot long pipe.
