Question

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jester cut​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m$

$Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m$

Required

Calculate the number of pieces

To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

Represent this with x

$x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}$

$x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

$x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Change division to multiplication

$x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$x= \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2.22$

$x = 2$
