Convert feet to inches
100ft=12*100 =1200 inches

convert 24 and 3/8 to improper fraction
24 and 3/8=24+3/8=192/8+3/8=195/8
195/8 times number of pieces=1200
times bothsides by 8/195 to clear fraction (195/8 times 8/195=1560/1560=1)
number of pieces=9600/195
number of pieces=49.23someting
she can cut 49 complete pieces and 1 partial piece

she can cut 50 pieces but 1 of them is shorter than 24 and 3/8 and therefor doesn't count

she cut 49 pieces

Which shows how to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step?
My name is Ann [436]

option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6  , which can be written as \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6 . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's  \frac{3}{4} , Let's make coefficient of x  as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:

\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4}(\frac{4}{3} ) (x) = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -2(4)

⇒ x = -8

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is <u>option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).</u>
