A factory's pipe - cutting machine cuts pieces of pipe to be threaded. The length of pipe to be cut is 8 feet. how many 2/3 long pieces of pipe can be cut from a 8 ft long pipe?

Answer 1

To find out how many 2/3 long pieces of pipe can be cut from an 8ft long pipe, we first need to calculate how many 2/3 long pieces can fit into the 8ft pipe.

Since each 2/3 piece is shorter than 1ft, we divide the length of the 8ft pipe by the length of each 2/3 piece:

8 ft / (2/3 ft) = 8 ft * (3/2) = 12 pieces

Therefore, 12 pieces of 2/3 long pipe can be cut from an 8ft long pipe.
