Mai has a piece of cloth that is 8.35 meters long. How many 15 centimeter pieces can she cut from the cloth? How much will be left over?
835 cm / 15 cm = 55 2/3
55 pieces
+ 2/3 * 15 = 10 cm left over

To find out how many 15 centimeter pieces Mai can cut from the cloth, we need to divide the length of the cloth by the length of each piece.
Step 1: Convert 8.35 meters into centimeters.
Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, we multiply 8.35 by 100: 8.35 * 100 = 835 centimeters.
Step 2: Divide the length of the cloth by the length of each piece.
To find out how many 15 centimeter pieces can be cut from 835 centimeters, we divide 835 by 15: 835 / 15 = 55.67.
Since we can't have a fraction of a piece, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Mai can cut 55 pieces of 15 centimeters each from the cloth.
Step 3: Calculate the amount of cloth left over.
To find out how much cloth is left over, we need to subtract the length of the cut pieces from the original length of the cloth.
The length of all the cut pieces is 55 * 15 = 825 centimeters.
To get the length of the cloth remaining, we subtract 825 from the original length of 835: 835 - 825 = 10 centimeters.
Therefore, Mai will have 10 centimeters of cloth left over.
