Question

your art teacher has 5 yards of yellow string and 4 yd of green string. She cuts both colors of string into 1/3 yd piece has to hang student artwork how many pieces of artwork can she hang

Answer 1

she can hang 27 pieces of artwork

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

find the total string,

to do that , we need to use an addition

so

total string= yellow screen + green string

replacing we have

`\begin{gathered} total\text{ =5 yd+ 4 ydd} \\ total\text{ =}9\text{ yds} \end{gathered}`

Step 2

now, she cuts the total in 1/3 yd, so

we need to make a divison

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Number of pieces= }\frac{total\text{ length}}{\text{size per piece}} \\ \text{replacing} \\ \text{ Number of pieces= }\frac{9\text{ yd}}{(1)/(3)\frac{yd}{\text{ Piece}}}=\frac{\frac{9\text{ yd}}{1}}{(1)/(3)yd}=\frac{9\text{ yd}\cdot3\text{ pi}ece}{1\text{ yd}}=27\text{ pieces} \end{gathered}`

therefore, she can hang 27 pieces of artwork

I hope this helps you
