Answer:
5 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of pieces divide 1 7/8 by 3/8
Change 1 7/8 to an improper fraction
substitute this value into the equation
to solve this complex fraction remove the bottom fraction by multiplying both the top and bottom fractions by the inverse of the bottom fraction.
Multiplying by the inverse results in a product of 1 so the result is
dividing by 1 gives just the top fraction.
Dividing out common factors leaves
Use long multiplication to evaluate.

I believe you haven't included the system of equations for us to solve.
However, I will tell you that you need to solve for one variable in an equation and substitute that into the other equation.
For example:
x = yz; z = x/y
a = zb; a = (x/y)b
Hope this helps!
