Question

Jasons cutting a 2 2/5 meter string into sections that are 3/4. how many sections can he cut

Answer 1

3 1/5

Explanation:

Okay, this is a standard division problem, so our equation is:

2 2/5 ÷ 3/4

but then we have to covert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

12/5 ÷ 3/4

do the cross thingy:

4/5 x 4/1 = 16/5 = 3 1/5

So Jason can cut 3 1/5 sections or 3 if you round
