We cannot cut any pieces from the 1/4yard string as it is smaller than the 3/5 yard pieces we want to cut.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

It is given to us that a worker cut pieces of string that are each 3/5 yard in length.

We have been asked to find out how many pieces of string can the worker cut from a piece of string that is 1/4 yard in length.

The total length of the string available for cutting is \frac{1}{4} yard.

We shall convert \frac{1}{4} into decimal form for the simplicity of the calculation. Which gives us:

= \frac{1}{4}

= 0.25 yard

Now the small pieces that want to be cut of 0.25 yard are given as \frac{3}{5} yards. So, now we convert \frac{3}{5} yard into decimal as well for uniformity.

= \frac{3}{5}

= 0.6 yard

So from the calculations we can see that 0.25 yard is smaller than 0.6 yard.

Therefore, we cannot cut any pieces from the \frac{1}{4} yard string as it is smaller than the pieces we want to cut.
