Question

To build the tree house, 88/5 yd of wood is cut into 22 pieces. What is the length of each piece?

• A. $\frac{4}{5}$ yd
• B. $\frac{3}{5}$ yd
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$ yd
• D. $\frac{22}{5}$ yd

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{4}{5}$ yd

Length of the rope = $\frac{88}{5}$ yd

It is cut into 22 pieces.

Length of 1 piece

= $\frac{88}{5}$ $÷$ 22

= $\frac{88}{5}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{22}$

= $\frac{4}{5}$

Hence, the length of each piece is $\frac{4}{5}$ yd.
