It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them. Note "years." Problem doesn't indicate how many pieces. I had to assume 2 from your attempt to answer.
15 - 2 1/3 ≠ 12 3/4
If you cut into 2 equal pieces, each will be half of the original length.
15 - 2 1/3 ≠ 12 3/4
If you cut into 2 equal pieces, each will be half of the original length.
