which division equation represents the situation?
A - 9 divided by 2/3 = 6
B - 2/3 divided by 9 = 6
C - 6 divided by 2/3 = 9
D - 2/3 divided by 6 = 9
A - 9 divided by 2/3 = 6
B - 2/3 divided by 9 = 6
C - 6 divided by 2/3 = 9
D - 2/3 divided by 6 = 9

To find the length of each piece when a 6-foot rope is cut into 9 pieces, you would divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces.
So, the calculation would be:
\[ \frac{6 \text{ ft}}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ ft} \]
Each piece is \( \frac{2}{3} \) ft long.
Therefore, you can fill in the blank as follows:
"There are 9 pieces that are **\( \frac{2}{3} \) ft long**."
So, the calculation would be:
\[ \frac{6 \text{ ft}}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ ft} \]
Each piece is \( \frac{2}{3} \) ft long.
Therefore, you can fill in the blank as follows:
"There are 9 pieces that are **\( \frac{2}{3} \) ft long**."

The situation describes cutting a 6-foot rope into 9 equal pieces, which means that the total length of the rope (6 feet) is divided by the length of each piece (which we've calculated as \( \frac{2}{3} \) feet).
To find out how many pieces of \( \frac{2}{3} \) feet fit into 6 feet, the correct division equation would be:
\[ 6 \div \frac{2}{3} = 9 \]
This matches option **C**:
**C - 6 divided by \( \frac{2}{3} \) = 9**.
