A lenght of rope is cut into 24 pieces, each 2/3metres long. What is the total lenght of rope?

Answer 1

HI Zaira,

Since the rope is cut into 24 equal pieces and each piece is 2/3 meter long, we would need to add the lengths of all 24 pieces. This can also be accomplished by multiplying by 24:

2 • 24 = 48 = 16 meters long

3 3

The total length of the rope would be 16 meters.
