Question

Joshua cuts 3 strings into a number of equal pieces. Each piece is 1/2 of a string into how many pieces does Joshua cut the 3 strings?

Answer 1

6 pieces

Explanation:

Since we are dividing the 3 strings into groups of `1/2`, the problem is:

`3/1-:1/2=3/1*2/1=6/1=6`

Therefore there are 6 pieces of string.
