A ball of string is 50 yards long. A shipper uses 5 yards of string to tie packages. The remaining string is then is cut into 7 equal pieces. what is the length of each of then 7 pieces of string
The beginning 50 yards is cut short 5 yards, therefore leaving 45 for the 7 equal pieces. If you take 45 and divide it by 7 you get 6.4285714286. Hope this helps?
