Answer: The yarn will be cut into 26 sections.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of piece of yarn = [tex]6\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{13}{2}\ feet[/tex]
Length of section = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\ feet[/tex]
We need to find the number of sections that will be cut into:
So, the number of sections would be
[tex]\dfrac{13}{2}\div \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{2}\times \dfrac{4}{1}\\\\=13\times 2\\\\=26[/tex]
Hence, the yarn will be cut into 26 sections.
