Step-by-step explanation:

Dave cuts a 12-foot-long streamer into 8 pieces of equal length. How long is each piece

From the question:

8 pieces = 12 feet

1 piece = x feet

Cross Multiply

8 pieces × x feet = 1 piece × 12 feet

x feet = 1 piece × 12 feet/8 pieces

x feet = 3/2 feet

x feet = 1 1/2 feet or 1.5 feet

Therefore, the length of each feet =

1 1/2 feet or 1.5 feet

step-by-step explanation:

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
