Carlos cut StartFraction 5 Over 12 EndFraction of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length. What was the length of each piece of cloth? HELP?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/12 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

5 pieces of equal length = 5/12 yards

1 piece of equal length = x yard

Cross Multiply

5 pieces × x = 1 piece × 5/12 yards

x = 1 piece × 5/12 yards/5 pieces

x = 5/12 ÷ 5

x = 5/12 × 1/5

x = 1/12 yard

The length of each piece of cloth is 1/12 yard
