1) In order to cut 27/32 inches of wire into three equal pieces, it would be no different from splitting some variable x into three equal pieces. In the case of x (which is a more general case), the answer would be x/3, or x divided by 3.
This is no different. What you would have to do is go 27/32 divided by 3. Remember that dividing with fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. Therefore,
27/32 divided by 3/1 =
27/32 times 1/3 = 9/32
Each piece is (9/32) inches long.
2) A metal containing 3/4 square foot cut into six equal parts is similarly found as above; divide the number by 6.
3/4 divided by 6 is equal to
3/4 times 1/6 = 1/8 square feet

a) A wire length is 27/32 and it is divided into three equal parts, so
27/32 x 1/3 = 9/32 in each piece
b) length of metal plate is 3/4 square ft and it is divided into six equal parts
= 3/4 x 1/6 = 1/8 ft² each part.

a) 27/32 : 3 = 27/32 x 1/3 = 9/32 in each piece
b) 3/4 : 6 = 3/4 x 1/6 = 1/8ft² each part.

(27/32) / 3 = 9/32 inches
(3/4) / 6 = 3/24 = 1/8 sq ft

Each piece is 1/6 of 3/4 metre 1 metre = 100 centimetres 3/4 of 100 centimetres = 75 centimetres 1/6 of 75 = 12.5 Each piece is 12.5 centimetres long Toni wants to store 1/2 gallon of sauce in 5 containers. If she wants each container to have the same amount of sauce, how much should she put in each container? 1/2 gallon = .5 gallon divide .5 gallon by 5 containers = .1 gallon in each container ________________________________________...
