Question

A piece of rope is 33 1/3 yards long and was cut into equal pieces. How many yards was each piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

              11 ¹/₉ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say how many pieces. My answer is for 3 equal pieces.$33\frac13\div3=(33+\frac13)\div3=33\div3+\frac13\div3=11+\frac13\times\frac13=11+\frac19=11\frac19$

For two it would be:

$33\frac13\div2=(33+\frac13)\div2=33\div2+\frac13\div2=16\frac12+\frac13\times\frac12=\\\\=16\frac36+\frac16=16\frac46=16\frac23$
