Question

Which situation can be represented by this equation A Jack has 4 pieces of fabric each piece is 1/8 of a year long how many yards of fabric does Jack have B Jack has 4 pieces of fabric he gets 1/8 more yards of fabric how many yards of fabric does Jack get. C Jack has 4 yards of fabric he gives away 1/8 of his pieces of fabric how many pieces of fabric does Jack have left. D Jack has 4 yards of fabric he cuts the fabric into pieces of 1/8 of a yard long how many pieces of fabric does Jack have

Answer 1

the thing is you cant do 4 divided by 1/8 because 1/8=1 part of 8 which is 1 so you cant do 1 divided by 4

Answer 2

The answer would be D: Jack has 4 yards of fabric he cuts the fabric into pieces of 1/8 of a yard long because he has to divide it by 1/8 to get the pieces.
