Emma had a piece of string that was 75 feet long. She cuts it into 12 equal pieces. How long is each piece of string after she makes the cuts?

Answer 1

To find the length of each piece of string after Emma cuts the 75-foot long string into 12 equal pieces, you can divide the total length by the number of pieces.

\[ \text{Length of each piece} = \frac{\text{Total length of string}}{\text{Number of pieces}} = \frac{75 \text{ feet}}{12} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \frac{75}{12} = 6.25 \]

So, each piece of string is 6.25 feet long.
