Respuesta :

pretty sure its 4. because 1/5 is .20 so 21 x .20 = 4.20
but you can't cut it into 4.20 pieces so 4

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = [tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex]

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into [tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex] strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

[tex] \frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}} [/tex] = [tex] 21 * \frac{5}{1} [/tex] = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.
