Question

Antonia’s blue rope measures 2 yards. She wants to cut the rope into MORE than 3 pieces so all the pieces of rope are equal in length with no rope left over.

What is ONE possible way that Antonia can cut the rope so that each piece of rope is less than 24 inches in length? Use words and numbers to explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

2 yards = 6 feet

6 feet = 72 inches

If you cut the rope into 3 pieces, each piece will equal 24 inches.

(72 ÷ 3 = 24)

For example, you can cut the rope into 4 pieces. Each piece will equal 18 inches in length. You have cut the rope into more than 3 pieces, and each rope piece is less than 24 inches in length.
