<h3>Answer: 6 pieces</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying top and bottom of the fraction by 2

She has 6/8 of a yard of ribbon.

If she cuts the ribbon into pieces of 1/8 of a yard each, then she has 6 pieces overall

We can see this if we solve the equation (1/8)x = 6/8. Multiply both sides by 8 to get x = 6.
