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

Calculate the number of pieces

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

Represent this with x

`x= (Length)/(Pieces)`

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

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

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

Change division to multiplication

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

`x= (20)/(9)`

`x = 2.22`

`x = 2`
