Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Given that,

Jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m = 5/3 m

He needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m

We need to find the number of pieces. Let there are x no. of pieces.

`x=((5)/(3))/((3)/(4))\\\\=(5)/(3)* (4)/(3)\\\\=2.23\`

or

x = 2

So, he will cut it into approx 2 pieces.
