Answer:

2 1/7 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

A factory makes rectangular sheets of cardboard, each with an area 2 1/2 square feet. Each sheet of cardboard can be cut into smaller pieces of cardboard measuring 1 1/6 square feet. How many smaller pieces of cardboard does each sheet of cardboard provide?

Each sheet of cardboard = 2 1/2 square feet

Each smaller pieces of cardboard = 1 1/6 square feet

Number of smaller pieces of cardboard per sheet of cardboard = Each sheet of cardboard ÷

Each smaller pieces of cardboard

= 2 1/2 square feet ÷ 1 1/6 square feet

= 5/2 ÷ 7/6

= 5/2 × 6/7

= (5*6) / (2*7)

= 30/14

= 15/7

= 2 1/7 pieces

Number of smaller pieces of cardboard per sheet of cardboard = 2 1/7 pieces
