Question

Martin, a carpenter wants to make a spice rack for the kitchen. He cuts a 16.24 feet long plank into 5 pieces of equal length. What is the length of each piece of wood ? Round to the nearest hundredth. Solve using long division.

Answer 1

Let's divide the 16.24 feet long plank by 5 to be able to determine the length of each piece of wood.

Using Long Division Method:

Therefore, the length of each piece when a 16.24 feet long plank is being cut into 5 pieces is 3.248 feet. Rounding off to the nearest hundredth, it will be 3.25 feet.
