Respuesta :
128 pieces can be made after cutting the chain
Solution:
Given that, Amy cut 32 ft of chain into pieces that were each 1/4 ft long
To find: Number of pieces after cutting the chain
From given,
[tex]\text{Total length of chain } = 32 \text{ feet }\\\\\text{Length of 1 piece } = \frac{1}{4} \text{ feet }[/tex]
Thus the number of pieces after cutting the chain can be found by dividing the total length of chain by length of 1 piece
[tex]\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{\text{Total length of chain}}{\text{Length of 1 piece }}[/tex]
Substituting the values, we get
[tex]\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{32}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\\text{Number of pieces} = 32 \times 4 = 128[/tex]
Thus 128 pieces can be made after cutting the chain
