Answer 1

Given

Gina has 6 yards of ribbon.

She cuts the ribbon into pieces that each measures three fourths yard.

Find out how many pieces of three fourths yard does Gina have

To proof

let the number of pieces of the ribbon be x.

As given in the question

Gina has of ribbon = 6 yards

She cuts the ribbon into pieces that each measures three fourths yard

Than the equation becomes

`x* (3)/(4) = 6`

`x = (6 * 4)/(3)`

solving the above equation

we get

x = 2 × 4

x = 8

Gina have 8 pieces of three fourths yard

Hence proved
