Answer:
14 slices
Step-by-step explanation:
Let me ask you this: how many one inch slices could she cut?
12, right? How do you get that? You divide the total length of the loaf by the thickness of each slice.
Do you see what to do now? We need to divide 12" by 5/6":
12" ÷ 5/6" is the same as:
12" x 6/5" Do you remember that? How when you divide by a fraction you get to flip it and multiply?
So it's (12 x 6)/5 = 72/5 = 14.4
But 0.4 of a slice isn't a 5/6" slice, so you round down to 14 slices.
Check it: 14 times 5/6" should be close to 12":
(14 x 5)/6 = 70/6 = 11 2/3" So yeah, it checks out.
