A 17-meter piece of fabric is to be cut into 5 1/2 pieces. How many meters is each piece?

Answer:

34/11 and 3 1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 17 / (5 1/2)

We can convert 5 1/2 to improper fraction which is 11/2.

So our new equation is 17 / (11/2).

Using the rules in dividing fractions: 17 / (11/2) = 17 x 2/11 = 34/11 = 3 1/11.

Hope this helps!
