estimate and actual number of spacers

Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The tube is 7long, or long.
Each spacer must be long.
IF you cut perfectly, you can get pieces out of it. =9 pieces

In real life, you always leave 10% for waste.
Remember, measure twice, cut once.
