Question

Queen is working on an art project. She has a piece

of paper that is 4 1/2 inches wide. She needs to cut
the paper into strips that are 1 1/3 inches wide. How
many strips of paper will Queen have?

Answer 1

Answer: 3

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you can divide 4 1/2 by 1 1/3. 4 1/2 is equal to 9/2 and 1 1/3 is equal to 4/3. We can divide 9/2 by 4/3 or multiply 9/2 by 3/4. This gives us 27/8 which is 3 with a remainder of 3.
