Question

How many 1-inch pieces of string can be cut from a 9-inch piece?

Answer 1

To determine how many 1-inch pieces of string can be cut from a 9-inch piece, you can simply divide the total length of the string by the length of each piece you want to cut:

\[
\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{\text{Total length}}{\text{Length of each piece}} = \frac{9 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ inch}} = 9
\]

So, you can cut **9 pieces** of string, each 1 inch long, from a 9-inch piece of string.
