marge cuts 16 pieces of tape. each piece is 3/8 inches long. how much tape did she use

Sagot :

16 x 3/8 so 16/1 x 3/8 = 48/8. 48 divided by 8 is 6. So 6 inches.

Marge cuts 16 pieces.

Each piece has a length of 3/8 inches

she needs to cut 16 pieces of 3/8 inches each

amount of tape needed - [tex] \frac{16}{1}*\frac{3}{8} [/tex]

when mulitplying numbers with fractions, numerators should be multiplied by numerators and denominators by denominators

[tex] \frac{16*3}{1*8} = \frac{48}{8} = 6 [/tex]

amount of tape needed = 6 inches
