You would take 25.5 feet and convert it to inches (306 inches) then just divide that by 6 and you get 51 inches or 4 feet 3 inches depending on how the answer needs to be reported.

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
