Answer:
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Brad and Wes cut a [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] foot piece of wood into 5 of the same length.
Let length of 1 piece be x
So, Length of 5 pieces = 5x
Total length of wood= [tex]12\frac{1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
So, [tex]5x=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence Length of each piece is [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] foot
