Mark has a string that is six feet long. If he cuts it in half and then cuts each half in half, how long will each piece be?

Each piece will equal approximately 1.5 of a foot

Ok lets start with 6 feet

if you cut 6 in half you get 3 feet, like 6-3 or 6 divided by 2. so now you have 3 feet

if you want to cut 3 in half you end up with 1.5 because half of 3 is 1.5 and 1.5+1.5 is 3.
