Solve the problem:
A plank of wood 1 1/2meter long is cut into 4 equal pieces.What is the length of each piece?


Sagot :

Converting 1 1/2 to improper fraction you'll have,
1 1/2 = 3/2
since you are to divide the length to 4 equal parts then you'll have it as
3/2 ÷ 4 = 3/2 × 1/4
           = 3/8 m long
