Isaac has a piece of rope that is 5 yards long. into how many 1/2 yard pieces of rope can isaac cut the rope

What you have to do is figure out how many half inches you need to have to figure out how many half inches equal 5 yards. Therefore if there are 12 inches in a foot, then that would be 24 half inches. So ... three feet equal 1 yards. So multiply 3 by 24. 3x24=72 so you would need 72 half inches
