Math Problem Statement
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?
Solution
Pamela bought a piece of rope that was 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:
Now, let's divide:
Thus, each piece of rope is 0.9 meters long.
Would you like more details on the division or any clarifications?
Here are 5 related questions you might find helpful:
- How would the result change if Pamela cut the rope into 5 pieces instead?
- What would be the length of each piece if the rope was 9.4 meters long and she cut it into 7 pieces?
- If Pamela needs pieces that are 0.7 meters long, how many pieces can she cut from the 6.3-meter rope?
- How much rope would be left over if Pamela cut 8 pieces of 0.75 meters from her 6.3-meter rope?
- How can we express 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.
