How many pieces 3/7 of a foot each can I make out of 7/2 feet of rope?

Answer 1

(7/2)/(3/7) = 7/2 * 3/7 = 3/2

or, 1.5 pieces.

You let the fractions scare you. I expect you could solve the problem using easier numbers:

How many pieces of 2 feet each can I make out of 10 feet of rope?

Answer 2

if 2 times 5=10 and we need to divided by what is 10 divided by 2?

You can make 5 2 foot each ropes.

Answer 3

all the answers are incorrect. it's a simple equation. 7/2 divided by 3/7. in order to do this you have to switch the 3/7 to 7/3. you do 7/2 x 7/3 which is 49/6. simplify that and you get 8 and 1/6 pieces. your final answer is 8 pieces.

Answer 4

7/15
