Final answer:

After cutting the 32-foot chain into 1/4-foot long pieces, Amy had a total of 128 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Amy cut a 32-foot chain into pieces that were each 1/4 ft long, to find out how many pieces she would have, you would divide the total length of the chain by the length of each piece. This can be written as:

32 feet รท 1/4 foot per piece = 128 pieces

Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, this is only relevant if you need to convert feet to yards or vice versa, but since the question deals with the measurements in feet, we do not need to use the conversion for this particular problem.
