Step-by-step answer:
1/8" long piece is not very much. However, mathematically,
we divide the total length by the length of each piece to get the number of pieces. So
4 2/5 / (1/8)
= (5*4+2)/5 * (8/1) [convert to fraction, and division to multiplication
= (22/5) * (8/1)
= 176/5
= 35 pieces with 1/5" left over.
