Answer:

36

Explanation:

A metal rod is 3/4 meters long. It will be cut into pieces that are each 1/48 meters long. How many pieces will be made from the rod?

let n = number of pieces the rod would be cut into

the following equation can be used to represent the question

3/4 x 1/n = 1/48

divide both sides of the equation by 3/4

1/n = 1/48 ÷ 3/4

1/n = 1/48 x 4/3 = 1/36

n = 36 rods
