Question

How many 3 3/4 inch wires can be cut from a spool if wire that is 100 inches how much will be left over

Answer 1

its 36 in

Explanation:

Answer 2

How many 3
`(3)/(4)` wires can be cut from a spool of wire that is 100 inches long?

How many inches will be left over?

Number of pieces of wires = length of spool of wire ÷ length of each piece of wire.

Number of pieces = 100 ÷ 3
`(3)/(4)` = 100 ÷
`(15)/(4)`

That gives
`(100 * 4)/(15)`

Simplifying gives
`(400)/(15)` =
`(80)/(3)`

This is equivalent to 26
`(2)/(3)` pieces

So 26 pieces of wires can be cut from a spool and
`(2)/(3)` of a piece will be left over.
