Answer:

4 1/8 pieces

Explanation:

Since you are using a string that is 100 ft. long then and you need exactly 24 3/8 ft. sections, you would do these calculations:

3/8 = 0.375

100/24.375 = 4.1026

.1026 = 1/8

4 1/8 ft long pieces

Answer:

The string is cut into 4.1025 pieces.

Explanation:

We are given the following information:

Length of the string = 100 feet

Length of one piece =
24\displaystyle(3)/(8) = \displaystyle(195)/(8) ~feet

Number of pieces =

Formula:


\text{Number of pieces} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of string}}{\text{Length of one piece}}

Number of pieces =


\displaystyle(100)/((195)/(8) ) = \displaystyle(100* 8)/(195)\\\\=\displaystyle(800)/(195) = 4\displaystyle(4)/(39) = 4.1025

Thus, the string is cut into 4.1025 pieces.
