To cut 1.2 meters into 3 equal lengths, first convert 1.2 meters to millimeters. Since 1 meter equals 1,000 millimeters, 1.2 meters is 1,200 millimeters. Dividing 1,200 millimeters by 3 gives you 400 millimeters per length. Therefore, you would cut the 1.2 meters into three pieces of 400 millimeters each.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! If you have a 2-meter long piece and you want to cut it into 5 equal pieces, you would simply divide 2 meters by 5. Each piece would be 0.4 meters long. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents!

Fourths are much bigger than tenths. They are so much bigger that it only takes FOUR of them to make one whole something. Tenths are smaller; it takes TEN of them to make the same whole something. Make 2 identical strawberry rhubarb pies. Cut one into FOUR equal pieces. Cut the other into TEN equal pieces. If you give out a piece from the one cut into 4 pieces, and a piece from the one cut into 10 pieces, which piece will be larger? The first pie is cut into fourths, and the second is cut into tenths.
