The length of a piece of fabric is 8y yards.Landon cuts 7 yards from it to make some cushion covers.He then uses 4 equal pieces.How long is each piece?
7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the remaining length of the fabric by the number of pieces.
1. Start with the length of the fabric, which is 8y yards.
2. Landon cuts 7 yards from it, leaving him with 8y - 7 yards.
3. We now need to divide the remaining length by the number of pieces, which is 4.
Divide (8y - 7) yards by 4:
(8y - 7) / 4
This gives us the length of each piece.
