Given the statement:
Cindy cut a 17 3/4 rope into pieces
Determine how many 4 ft long piece can Cindy can cut.
Solution:
In order to determine how many 4 ft long , we convert first the mixed number into decimal then divide it by 4.
= 17 ¾
=17.75
= 17.75/4
= 4.4
Round to the nearest whole number since we cannot have a decimal answer.
= 4
Final answer:
Cindy can cut 4 pieces of 4ft long ropes.
