Question

How many pieces of tape measuring 2/3 meter can be cut from a roll of tape that measures 5 1/3 meters

Answer 1

to find:

how many pieces of tape can be cutted.

solution:

`5 (1)/(3) / (2)/(3)`

`= (5 + 0) + ( (1)/(3) + (2)/(3) )`

`= 5 + (1 + 2)/(3)`

`= 5 + (3)/(3)`

`= 5 + (3 / 3)/(3 / 3)`

`= 5 + (1)/(1)`

`= 6`

therefore, 6 pieces of tape can be cutted.
