Answer 1

13 slices

1/4 inches is left over

Explanation:

Given a 10 inch loaf of bread is cut into 3/4 inch thick slices

Let the number of slices cut be x

This x should be an integer

Given condition is
`(3x)/(4) < 10`

x < 13.33

since x is an integer x = 13

Therefore 13 slices 3/4 inches slices can be cut

Inches of bread left over = 10 - Inches of bread cut = 10 -
`13* (3)/(4)` =
`(1)/(4)`
