Question

each piece is (9/10)/6 = 9/10 * 1/6 = 9/60 = 3/20
so, 2 pieces have length 2 * 3/20 = 6/20 = 3/10
so, 2 pieces have length 2 * 3/20 = 6/20 = 3/10

Convert 9/10 to a decimal, 0.9! Then divide! 0.9 divided by 6 = 0.15! So the length of 2 of the species is 0.30! Then, covert 0.30 into a fraction! 0.30 = 3/10! Answer: 3/10

Sergio cut 4.6 metres of string into 10 equal pieces. How long is each piece? Use as many different units as you can in your answer.
