The answer is A. If there are 3 thirds (1/3s) per yard and there are 6 yards, 3*6=18. Because the last cut will make two 1/3-yard segments, the answer is 17 cuts and not 18.
Number 1 is 15 number 2 is 9x3=27 and number 3 is 15 and number 4 is 5x7=35 number number 6 is 5 number 7 is 11 and that is about all i know hope this helps
6x-8=13 start off with adding 8 to 13 then 6x=21 then divide 6 to both sides getting x=3.5
