This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems
for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25
now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25
3/1.25 = 2.4
so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string
