To put up several tents for a camping trip, you need several pieces of rope each 6 2/3 feet long. If you have a rope that is 43 feet, how many pieces can you cut for the tents?

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf 43\div 6\frac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{46}{6\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{46}{1}}{\frac{6\cdot 3+2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{46}{1}}{\frac{20}{3}} \implies \cfrac{46}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{20}\implies \cfrac{69}{10} \\\\\\ \boxed{6\frac{9}{10}}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{6\cdot 10+9}{10}\implies \cfrac{69}{10}[/tex]
