To find the length of each piece when a 2-yard long fabric is cut into 24 equal pieces, you first need to convert the total length from yards to inches.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches, so: \[ 2 \text{ yards} = 2 \times 36 \text{ inches} = 72 \text{ inches} \]
Now, you will divide the total length (72 inches) by the number of pieces (24): \[ \text{Length of each piece} = \frac{72 \text{ inches}}{24} = 3 \text{ inches} \]
So, each piece is 3 inches long.
