Question

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jester cut​

Answer 1

2 pieces

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 1(2)/(3)m`

`Pieces = (3)/(4)m`

Required

Determine the number of pieces

To do this, we simply divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

`Number = (Length)/(Pieces)`

`Number = 1(2)/(3)/(3)/(4)`

Convert fraction

`Number = (5)/(3)/(3)/(4)`

Change sign to *

`Number = (5)/(3)*(4)/(3)`

`Number = (20)/(9)`

`Number = 2.2222`

`Number = 2` (approximated)
