Question

A piece of licorice is to be cut into 10 equal size pieces. If the length of the piece of licorice is 2/3 yard, how long will each piece of licorice be?

Answer 1

(2/3)/10 = (2/3)/(10/1) = (2/3) (1/10) = 2/30

each piece will be 2/30 of a yard.

(2/30 yd) x (36 in/1 yd) = 72/30 = 36/15 = 12/5 = 2 2/5 inch
