Chris is building a model out of wire. He has a length of wire that measures 9/10 of a yard. If he cuts it into 5 equal parts, then how long will each piece be
[tex]\displaystyle\\\frac{9}{10}~~\text{of a yard}~~=\frac{9}{10}~\text{yards}\\\\\frac{1}{5}~\text{from}~\frac{9}{10}~\text{yards}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{9}{10}=\frac{9}{50}~\text{yards each piece}[/tex]
