Samantha has 124 ft of yarn. she wants to cut the yarn into equal pieces to give 17 students. how much yarn will she give each student's?

She can give 7.29 ft or 7.3 ft of yarn to her 17 students given that the total measurement of the yarn is 124 ft.

solution:

124ft/17students   - the operation used is division, dived 124ft w/c is the                                        measurement of the yarn by 17 students. 
7.294117647058824 - simplify the answer by rounding it off, at least one or                                       two decimal points; making it 7.29 ft or 7.3ft

However, if the workers do outside of what's normally expected, go ahead and tip.

All you have to do is multiply
