steven has a rope that is 6 ft long . He cuts it into 9 pieces.
the question says there are 9 pieces in each blank ft long
fill in the blank
Answered by Ashh
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

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**."

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**.
