To find out how many pieces of candy bar there will be, you can divide the length of the candy bar by the length of each piece. Here are the steps you can follow to do this:
Begin by converting both measurements to fractions with a common denominator: 5 1/3 inches = (21/3) inches and 1 1/4 inches = (5/4) inches
Divide the length of the candy bar by the length of each piece: (21/3) inches / (5/4) inches
Since division is the inverse of multiplication, you can multiply by the reciprocal to simplify the expression: (21/3) inches / (5/4) inches = (21/3) inches * (4/5) inches
Simplify the division: (21/3) inches * (4/5) inches = (21 * 4)/(3 * 5) inches
Multiply: (21 * 4)/(3 * 5) inches = (84/15) inches
The result of the division is a mixed number. To find the number of pieces, you can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and then simplify: (84/15) inches = (119/15) inches = 7 4/15 inches
So, there will be 7 pieces of candy bar, each measuring 1 1/4 inches long. There will be an additional 4/15 inches left over, which is less than one piece.
