Question

A Metal rod is 7/8 m long it will be cut into pieces that are each 1/56 meters long how many pieces will be made from the road ?

Answer 1

Namely, how many times does 1/56 go into 7/8?  well, let's check

$\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{8}\quad }{\frac{1}{56}}\implies \cfrac{7}{8}\cdot \cfrac{56}{1}\implies \cfrac{7}{\underline{8}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{8}\cdot 7}{1}\implies \cfrac{49}{1}\implies 49$
