Mrs. Snyder is building a stone path through her backyard. She uses 25 equally-sized stones to make a path that is 12 feet long.

How long is each stone?

To find the length of each stone, divide the total length of the path by the number of stones.

\[
\text{Length of each stone} = \frac{\text{Total length of the path}}{\text{Number of stones}} = \frac{12 \, \text{feet}}{25}
\]

Now, perform the division:

\[
\frac{12}{25} = 0.48 \, \text{feet}
\]

Each stone is **0.48 feet** long.

Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions:

1. If the path was 15 feet long instead of 12 feet, how long would each stone be?
2. How many stones would Mrs. Snyder need if each stone were 0.6 feet long for a 12-foot path?
3. What is the total length if Mrs. Snyder uses 40 stones, each 0.48 feet long?
4. How would the calculation change if the stones were not equally sized?
5. If Mrs. Snyder wants the path to be 20 feet long, using 25 stones, how long would each stone need to be?

**Tip:** When dividing small numbers by larger ones, remember that the result will always be less than 1.
