First, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
[tex]2\dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{12}{5}[/tex]
Divide the improper fraction by 6 since the sandwhich will be cut into 6 even sections.
[tex]\dfrac{12/6}{5} = \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]
Thus, each section is 2/5 feet long. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
