full question: Janelle is a junior counselor at Cactusville Craft Camp. One day, Janelle's campers make lanyard keychains out of plastic string. For each keychain, Janelle cuts a long piece of string into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is 1.5 feet long. Solve this equation for s to find the length of the long piece of string.

Vocaloid · Answer

I can't find the actual equation anywhere, but I can try to derive it

the original piece of string with length s is divided into 4 equal pieces to get pieces that are 1.5 feet each

therefore, s/4 = 1.5

to solve for s, multiply both sides by 4
