Question

Zane is making chew toys for his puppy. He uses 2/5 yd of rope to make one toy, Zane has 2 yd of rope to use. What model can show how many 2/5 s fit into 2yd?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Explanation:

When we divide A by B, we are calculating how many Bs fit into A. So, if we want to know how many 2/5s fit into 2 yds, we need to divide 2 by 2/5. So:

$\frac{2}{\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{\frac{2}{1}}{\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{2\times5}{1\times2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

So, 2 yds of rope can be divide into 5 ropes of 2/5 yd.
