Given:
Miguel needs to cut a board that is Two-thirds of a yard long into 3 equal pieces.
To find:
The expressions that can you use to find the length of each piece.
Solution:
It is given that Miguel needs to cut a board that is Two-thirds of a yard long into 3 equal pieces. It means [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] is divided in 3 equal parts.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3[/tex]
It can be written as:
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, the required expression is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\div 3[/tex] and the length of each piece is [tex]\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex] yards.
