Pamela bought a piece of rope that was 6 3/10 meters long. She cut the rope into 7 equal pieces. How long is each piece of rope?


Pamela bought a piece of rope that was \(6 \frac{3}{10}\) meters long, which is the same as 6.3 meters. She then cut the rope into 7 equal pieces. 

To find the length of each piece, we divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces:

\[
\text{Length of each piece} = \frac{6.3}{7}
\]

Now, let's divide:

\[
\frac{6.3}{7} = 0.9 \text{ meters}
\]

Thus, each piece of rope is 0.9 meters long.

2. What would be the length of each piece if the rope was 9.4 meters long and she cut it into 7 pieces?
3. If Pamela needs pieces that are 0.7 meters long, how many pieces can she cut from the 6.3-meter rope?
4. How much rope would be left over if Pamela cut 8 pieces of 0.75 meters from her 6.3-meter rope?
5. How can we express \(6 \frac{3}{10}\) as an improper fraction and solve the problem using fractions?

**Tip:** When dividing decimals, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to make it easier to work with whole numbers.
