Question

Help me please I love when I can get help

Answer 1

To determine in how many pices of 2/3ft can a 9ft long ribbon be cut, you have to divide 9 by 2/3:

`9/(2)/(3)`

To divide both fractions, first turn the 9 into a fraction by adding 1 as a denominator

`(9)/(1)/(2)/(3)`

Now you have to invert the fraction that is the denominator of the division

`(2)/(3)\to(3)/(2)`

And multiply it by the first fraction

`(9)/(1)\cdot(3)/(2)=(9\cdot3)/(1\cdot2)=(27)/(2)\cong13.5`

She can divide the ribbon in 13 pieces of 2/3ft each
