Question

a worker must cut 5,814 meters of rope into 27 - meter sections. how many 27 - meter sections are possible, and how much rope will be left over?
215 sections with 3 meters left over
215 sections with 8 meters left over
215 sections with 9 meters left over
218 sections with 3 meters left over

Explanation:

Step1: Divide total length by section length

To find the number of 27 - meter sections, we perform the division $5814\div27$.
$5814\div27 = 215\frac{9}{27}$

Step2: Identify quotient and remainder

The quotient is the number of full - length sections and the remainder is the leftover length. The quotient of $5814\div27$ is 215 and the remainder is 9.

Answer:

215 sections with 9 meters left over
