Answer:

1 piece of equal length = 2 3/4 yards of cloth

Explanation:

Sariyah cuts 22 yards of cloth into 8 pieces of equal length the lengths of each pieces falls between two measures

8 pieces of equal length = 22 yards of cloth

1 piece of equal length = x yards

Cross Multiply

8 pieces × x yards = 22 yards × 1 piece

x yards = 22 yards/8

x yards = 11/4

x yards = 2 3/4 yards

Therefore, 1 piece of equal length = 2 3/4 yards of cloth
