A)He can cut 5 strips of of 7/10m.
7/10=0.7m
0.7*5=3.5m
3.5m of wire wil be used in cutting possible 7/10m pieces.
b)Leftover will be 0.6m.
4.1-3.5=0.6m
Alright, so since I don't have an example question, I will make one up.
there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins.
you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.
Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4
Or another Example:
There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.
it would be 4-12= 8
Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3
Hope that helped.
