The correct answer is [Choose according to the options given in your assignment/exam]:
In feet: [tex] 4\frac{1}{4} [/tex] feet
In feet and inches: 4 feet and 3 inches
In inches: 51 inches
Explanation:
Rope length = [tex] 25\frac{1}{2} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{50+1}{2} =\frac{51}{2} [/tex] feet
Now, divide the Rope length by 6 to get the length of a single piece:
Single piece length = Rope-length/6 = [tex] \frac{\frac{51}{2}}{6} =\frac{51}{12} = 4\frac{1}{4} [/tex] feet
Hence, each piece length is 4 feet and 3 inches (as 1/4 feet = 1/4 * 12 inches = 3 inches). Or in inches, it is (4*12 inches) + 3 inches = 51 inches
