Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope. If he cuts the rope into pieces that are each 1/2 foot long, there will be 1/3 foot of rope left over. How many 1/2 foot pieces will Sammi have? Write an expression only to represent the number of 1/2 foot pieces Sammi has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope.

To write this type of fraction = 2 + 1/3 - The integer 2 in the expression is the amount of feet of rope that was cut.

Thus to know the number of 1/2 foot pieces produced, let this number be x. Thus, we have 1/2 of x pieces = 2

  x/2 = 2; x = 2x2 = 4.

Thus, Sanmi has 4 pieces of 1/2 foot long piece each of rope.

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
