Answer:

The answer to your question is 8 pieces

Explanation:

Data

rope = 7/2

length of a piece = 3/7

Process

1.- Divide 7/2 by 3/7


(7)/(2) / (3)/(7) = (49)/(6)

2.- Divide 49 by 6 to get the pieces that can be made out of the rope

49 / 6 = 8 1/6

3.- Conclusion. We can get 8 pieces of the rope and there will be a remainder of 1/6.
