Answer: 160 pieces

Explanation:

1. Convert each mixed number into an improper fraction

4 4/5 = 24/5

2. Convert to the least common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator would be 10. Since the denominator in 24/5 is 5, multiply this fraction by 2/2 to get the denominator to equal 10.

24/5 * 2/2 = 48/10

3. Divide 48/10 by 3/10, using the keep, change, flip method

48/10 * 10/3

Multiply the numerators and denominators together, respectively.

480/3

4. Simplify

480/3 = 160

There are 160 pieces.
