Andre has some water hose for his drip sprinkler system. he cut the hose into 5 equal pieces. each piece was 1/2 ft long. how long was the original piece of hose?
me hurry
a. 2 ft

b.2 and 1/2 ft

c. 5 ft

d.5 and 1/2 ft

The answer is B.) 2 and 1/2 feet because if you multiply 1/2 by 5, that's what you get. or just think of it as putting 2 half ft pieces together and making one foot, but you have enough to put 4 half ft pieces together to make 2 ft total, but still have one half piece left over. I hope this helps cx
