Question

The length of a ribbon is 3/4 meter. Sun Yi needs piece measuring 1/3 meter for an art project. What is the greatest number of Pisa minute what is the greatest number of piece measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the ribbon? How much ribbon will be left after sun Yi cuts the ribbon? Explain your reason.

Answer 1

3/4 divided by 1/3 = 3/4 * 3/1 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 <-------reason

Sun Yi can cut out 2 pieces.

Sun Yi will have 1/4 left.

Answer 2

Answer: The greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.

And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of a ribbon =
`(3)/(4)`

Length of piece for an art project =
`(1)/(3)`

So, the greatest number of piece measuring
`(1)/(3)` meter that can be cut from the ribbon is given by

`(3)/(4)/ (1)/(3)\\\\=(3)/(4)* (3)/(1)\\\\=(9)/(4)\\\\=2(1)/(4)`

So, the greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.

And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is
`(1)/(4)`
