Oliver has 2 pieces of rope that are each 3 1/2 ft long. He also has a piece of string that is 2 1/4 ft long. Olivier needs to cut this string into 3 pieces that are all the same length to finish an art project. How long should each piece of string be?
This is the concept of arithmetic; given that a string was cut into 3 equal pieces. The length of each piece will be: [length of the string]*3 length of the string=2 1/4 ft=9/4 ft thus the length will be: 9/4÷3 =9/4×1/3 =3/4 ft thus we conclude that the length of each string will be 3/4 ft long
