Hugo has 8 equal-sized spools of rope. The total length of rope Hugo has is 328 feet. Hugo wants to cut 7-foot-long pieces of rope from one of the spoils. How many 7-foot-long pieces of rope can Hugo get from one spool?
Question
Answer:
To find out how many 7-foot-long pieces of rope Hugo can get from one spool, you need to divide the total length of the spool by the length of each piece (7 feet).
So, to calculate this:
Number of pieces = Total length of spool / Length of each piece
Number of pieces = 328 feet / 7 feet
Number of pieces β 46.857
Hugo can get approximately 46 whole 7-foot-long pieces of rope from one spool.
