delia has 3 5/8 yards of ribbon. About how many 1/4 yard-long pieces can she cut?
Answer: There are 14 long pieces she can cut.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of yards of ribbon is given by
\(3\frac{5}{8}\ yards\\\\=\frac{29}{8}\ yards\)
Length of yards of ribbon pieces need to be cut is given by
\(\frac{1}{4}\ yards\)
Number of yards is given by
\(\frac{\frac{29}{8}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\\\=\frac{29}{2}\\\\=14.5\\\\=14\)
Hence, there are 14 long pieces she can cut.
Answer:
14 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
3 5/8 = 29/8
1/4 = 1/8
29/8 / 1/8
= 14.5
= 14
