Problem #2: A piece of wood that is 15 feet long is cut in half. Each half is then cut into twelve congruent pieces of wood. What is the length of each of the twenty-four small pieces of wood? Answer in fraction form. *

15 divided by 2, and then divided by 12, equals 15 divided by 24, or 15/24.

Not the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done and that's all you need in math.

:)

I do have to ask, though, why is there an asterisk at the end of that question? Are you hiding something from us!?

JK, hope this answers your question well enough.
