Pieces of yarn .... 1/8 yard long (each)
a piece of yarn ... n = 3 yards long
remaining ... 1 1/4 yards = 5/4 yards
If you would like to calculate how many 1/8 yard pieces can Sarah cut and still have 1 1/4 yards left, you can do this using the following steps:
n - 1 1/4 = <span>3 - 1 1/4 </span>= 3 - 5/4 = 12/4 - 5/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
7/4 / 1/8 = 7/4 * 8/1 = 14 pieces
Result: Sarah can cut 14 1/8 yard pieces and still have 1 1/4 yards left.
Answer:
the answer is 83 because 5+3=8 and 3+0=3
49: 1 7, 49
84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
