Jose drew a line on the sidewalk outside his house with chalk that was 1 3/4 of a yard long for a game that he is playing with his friends. he wants to divide the line into sections that are each 2/5 of a yard long. how many sections will the line be divided into?

Jose drew a line on the sidewalk. The line will be divide into approximately 4 sections.

Solution:

It is given that the line that Jose drew on the sidewalk outside his house is yard long. Now he want to divide the line into sections that are of a yard long. We have to find out how many sections the line will be divided.  

Let the number of sections be x

Thus using the below equation we can find out the number of section

Thus the line will be divide into approximately 4 sections.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
