Question

The length of a ribbon is 3/4 meter. Sun Yi needs piece measuring 1/3 meter for an art project. What is the greatest number of Pisa minute what is the greatest number of piece measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the ribbon? How much ribbon will be left after sun Yi cuts the ribbon? Explain your reason.

Answer 1

3/4 divided by 1/3 = 3/4 * 3/1 = 9/4 = 2 1/4   <-------reason

Sun Yi can cut out 2 pieces.

Sun Yi will have 1/4 left.

Answer 2

Answer: The greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.

And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of a ribbon = $\dfrac{3}{4}$

Length of piece for an art project = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, the greatest number of piece measuring $\dfrac{1}{3}$ meter that can be cut from the ribbon is given by

$\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\=2\dfrac{1}{4}$

So, the greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.

And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is $\dfrac{1}{4}$
