Question

How long was each piece that she cut for the quilt

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A, $3\frac{3}{8}\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Remove the excess from the total

$Total - Excess$

$19\frac{1}{8}\ in - 2\frac{1}{4}\ in$

$18\frac{9}{8}\ in - 2\frac{2}{8}\ in$

$16\frac{7}{8}\ in$

Step 2:  Split the remaining into 5 pieces

$\frac{16\frac{7}{8}\ in}{5\ pieces}$

$\frac{\frac{135}{8}\ in}{5\ pieces}$

$\frac{135\5}{8\ in}$

$\frac{27}{8\ in}$

$3\frac{3}{8}\ in$

Answer:  Option A, $3\frac{3}{8}\ in$
