Question

Zane is making chew toys for his puppy. He uses 2/5 yd of rope to make one toy, Zane has 2 yd of rope to use. What model can show how many 2/5 s fit into 2yd?

Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide A by B, we are calculating how many Bs fit into A. So, if we want to know how many 2/5s fit into 2 yds, we need to divide 2 by 2/5. So:

`(2)/((2)/(5))=((2)/(1))/((2)/(5))=(2*5)/(1*2)=(10)/(2)=5`

So, 2 yds of rope can be divide into 5 ropes of 2/5 yd.
