Carlos had a piece of tubing that was 21 2  yd long. He needed to cut it into 5 pieces of equal length. How long would each piece of tubing be?

A student solved the problem this way:

21 2 ÷5=5 2 ÷5 1 

=5 2 ⋅1  5 

=5 10 

=1 2 

Each piece would be 1 2  yd long.

Use a similar strategy to solve this problem.

Ryan had 4 pieces of pipe that were each 11 3  yd long. He also had a piece of wood that was
41 6 

yd long. Ryan needed to cut the wood into 5 pieces that were all the same length to finish a building project.

How long would each piece of wood be?
