Answer:

5 stick lengths

Explanation:

The question is not structured well. However, the following can be deduced


Wire = (5)/(8)yd


Stick = (1)/(8)yd

Required

How many of the stick length can be gotten from the wire length

To do this, we simply divide the length of the wire by the length of the stick.

So, we have:


Number = (Wire)/(Stick)


Number = (5/8yd)/(1/8yd)


Number = (5/8)/(1/8)

Using a calculator, we have:


Number = 5
