Question

If you have 76 and eight tenths of fabric and you want to cut into 7 pieces how how long will the pieces be?

Answer 1

$76 \dfrac{8}{10} \div 7$

$= 76 \dfrac{4}{5} \div 7$

$= \dfrac{384}{5} \div 7$

$= \dfrac{384}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{7}$

$= \dfrac{384}{35}$

 $\text {Answer: Each piece is }10\dfrac{34}{35} \text { long}$
