Step-by-step explanation:
The key to solving word problems is in translation: turning word into math
Below is a general approach to most/any word problem
1. Read through the whole question once, without lingering over details, to get some sense of the overall problem
2. identify and label the variables or unknowns in a way that makes it easy to remember what they stand for.
3. translate the problem into one or more equations, sentence by sentence, and be careful of the order in which you translate the terms
4. solve the equation(s)
5. check your work
A mixed number and one and two-ninths.
Hope this helps! :D
Answer: 6 pieces
=======================================================
Explanation:
3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying both parts by 2
We have a ribbon that is 6/8 of an inch long. We want to cut it into 1/8 inch pieces. We can see there will be exactly 6 pieces
Note how 6*(1/8) = 6/8
Or we can think of it as "we have a ribbon that is 6 units long and we want to cut it into pieces that are 1 unit each, so we'll have 6 pieces total". Replace "unit" with "1/8 inch" and you'll have the same idea.
