Question

Mike had a 9 inch sub sandwich. He needs to cut it into 2/3 inch pieces. How many pieces will he able to cut?

Answer 1

made it extremely easy for you.

Explanation:

You're cutting something into pieces, so you're dividing one into the other:

9 ÷ 2/3

What happens when you divide by a fraction? You flip it and multiply:

9 * 3/2 = 27/2

Change the above improper fraction into a mixed number, and you'll have your answer. The whole number will be the number of pieces, and the fraction will be how much of an inch is left over.
