Pat has 4 1/2 feet of fabric each piece is 9 inches how man pieces can pat cut
4.5 * 12 = 54 inches
54/9
= 6
Your question isn't very clear. I assume you want to know how many fabric pieces 9 inches long you can get out of 4 1/2 feet.
4 1/2 = 54 inches
54 / 9 = ________ pieces
To find out how many pieces Pat can cut from the fabric, we need to calculate the total length of the fabric in inches and then divide it by the length of each piece.
First, we convert the length of each piece from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Thus, 4 1/2 feet is equal to 4 * 12 + 1/2 * 12 = 48 inches + 6 inches = 54 inches.
Now, we divide the total length of the fabric (54 inches) by the length of each piece (9 inches) to find out how many pieces Pat can cut:
54 inches / 9 inches = 6 pieces
Therefore, Pat can cut 6 pieces from the fabric.
