Length of each piece of rope is 2.75 inches
Solution:
Given that, rope was 19.25 inches long
Lester cut the rope into 7 equal piece length
To find: length of each piece of rope in inches
From given,
Total length of rope = 19.25 inches
Number of equal pieces = 7
To find the length of each piece of rope in inches, divide total length of rope by number of equal pieces
[tex]\text{Length of 1 piece of rope } = \frac{\text{total length of rope}}{\text{number of equal pieces }}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\text{Length of 1 piece of rope } = \frac{19.25}{7} = 2.75[/tex]
Thus length of each piece of rope is 2.75 inches
