If a piece of ribbon measuring $y$ cm is cut into 5 equal lengths, what is the algebraic expression for one cut length?
- $5y$
- $5 imes y$
- $rac{5}{y}$
- $rac{y}{5}$ (correct)
If a piece of ribbon measuring $z$ cm is cut into 8 equal lengths, what is the algebraic expression for one cut length?
If a piece of ribbon measuring $z$ cm is cut into 8 equal lengths, what is the algebraic expression for one cut length?
- $8z$
- $rac{z}{8}$ (correct)
- $rac{8}{z}$
- $z imes 8$
