Isn’t this 12/4 of a mile of thread every hour? If the factory produces 3/4 of a mile of thread every 1/4 of an hour, then all you need to do is 3/4 x 4. 1/4 is like .25 so to make a whole number, you have to do .25 x4 which makes the whole. I don’t know if my explanation is correct or not but I do believe my answer is. (12/4 is 3)
4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces

You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.
2x10^3 * 5x10^9
Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
