Question

ariana has a string that is 2 2/6 inches long. Ariana decides to cut the string into sections that are each 1/3 inches long. How many sections will ariana have

Answer 1

First simplify: 2 2/6 = 2 1/3 (since 2/6 = 1/3). As an improper fraction that's 7/3 inches.

Divide by 1/3: (7/3) ÷ (1/3) = (7/3) × (3/1) = 7.

Ariana will have 7 sections.
