Chapter 1: Problem 104

A rope \(x\) feet long is cut into 5 equal pieces. Find an expression for the length of each piece.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Each piece of rope is \(x/5\) feet long.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Data

We know from the problem that: The length of the rope is \(x\) feet. The rope is cut into 5 equal pieces.
02

Set up the Equation

To find the length of each piece, we should divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces: \(x \div 5\).
03

Solve the Equation

Therefore, each piece of rope is \(x/5\) feet long.
