A company bought a total of 412feet of cable to connect 3 computers to the wall outlet. Each computer needs the same amount of cable. How many feet of cable are needed to connect each computer?

Each computer needs 3/2, or 1.5 feet of cable

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to divide 4 1/2 by 3

Then we can make 4 1/2 an improper fraction.

We will also multiply 4 by 2 and then add 1

= 8 + 1

= 9

But;

9/2 = 4 1/2

In order to divide 9/2 by 3/1, we will change 3/1 to 1/3 and then multiply

= 9/2 × 1/3

= 9/6

= 3/2 or 1.5

Therefore, each computer needs 3/2, or 1.5 feet of cable.
