Bad ya has 19 1/4 yards of ribbon.She cuts them into pieces that measure 1 3/4 yards.How many pieces does she have

Answer 1

She would have 11 pieces of ribbon.

Explanation:

If you multiply 1 3/4, or you can convert it into 1.75, by 11 you would get 19 1/4, or 19.25 which means there would be 11 pieces of ribbon.

Answer 2

1/4 = .25 and 3/4 = .75

So take 19.25 and divide that by 1.75 and your answer is 11
