Answer 1

2 one yard pieces she can cut.

Explanation:

Sarah's craft project uses pieces of yarn that are a yard long.

If she has a piece of yarn that is 3 yards long, then we have to find the number of pieces of length 1 yard that she can cut and still she will have 1 yard left.

Therefore, she has to cut (3 - 1) = 2 yards of yarn and make it two pieces of 1 yard of yarn.

Hence, 2 one yard pieces she can cut. (Answer)
