Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is 8 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

rope = 7/2

length of a piece = 3/7

Process

1.- Divide 7/2 by 3/7

                 $\frac{7}{2} / \frac{3}{7} = \frac{49}{6}$

2.- Divide 49 by 6 to get the pieces that can be made out of the rope

                         49 / 6 = 8 1/6

3.- Conclusion. We can get 8 pieces of the rope and there will be a remainder of 1/6.
