Angie had 12 feet of string. She will cut the string into equal lengths of 5 inches each. How much string v will be left after she cuts as many of these lengths as possible?
First you should convert the feet into inches just because that should make it easier on yourself. So 12 feet= 144 inches If Angie has to cut the pieces in 5 inches each you should do 144 divided by 5 to get your answer which should be 28-5 inch pieces with 4 inches of string left over.
