A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Brianna has a sheet of paper that is 6 feet long.

She cuts the length of paper into sixth and then cuts the length of each of these 1/6pieces into thirds.

A paper is divided into 6 equal parts then the number of pieces is 6.

She again divided the 6th part of the paper into 3 equal parts. Then the number of equal parts of the 6th part paper is 3.

a.  Then the total pieces will be

Total pieces = 6 × 3

Total pieces = 18

The total pieces he total pieces is 18.

b.  The length of each part will be

[tex]\rm Length\ of\ each = \dfrac{6}{18}\\\\\\Length\ of\ each = \dfrac{1}{3} \ ft\\\\\\Length\ of\ each = \dfrac{1}{3} * 12 \ inch \\\\\\ Length\ of\ each = 4 \ inches[/tex]

The length of each part is 4 inches.
