Question

find the quotient jenny made a 9-inch sub sandwich she need to cut into 2/3 piece. how many pieces will she be able to cut?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cutting a 9 inch sub into 2/3 inch pieces ?

9 inch / 2/3 inch / piece = 9 * 3/2= 27/2 = 13.5 pieces ~ 13 with a bit left over

Answer 2

27/2 or 13.5 pieces.

To find the quotient, we need to divide the length of the sub sandwich by the length of each piece she wants to cut it into:

9 ÷ (2/3)

We can simplify this by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

9 ÷ (2/3) = 9 × (3/2)

Multiplying straight across:

9 × (3/2) = 27/2

So Jenny will be able to cut the sub sandwich into 27/2 or 13.5 pieces.
