Question

yuri has a rope 12 meters long. he cuts it into pieces that are each 2 meters long. what fraction of the rope is one piece

Answer 1

So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)

Answer 2

Based on the length of the rope and the length of each piece cut, the fraction of that piece is 1/6.

The rope is 12 meters long and each piece is 2 meters long.

The fraction of this piece is therefore:

= Length of piece / Length of rope

= 2 / 12

At the simplest form this is:

= 1/6

In conclusion, the fraction of each piece is 1/6.
