The length of a ribbon is 3/4 meter Sun Yi needs pieces measuring 1/3 meter for an art project. What is the greatest number of pieces 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 reasoning
1. 2 pieces can be cut because 3/4 divided by 1/3= 3/4*3= 9/4= 2 1/4.
sup bro
2 * 1/3 = 2/3
3/4 - 2/3 = 9/12 - 8/12 = ________
Z😏😏😏😏😏 y’all got caught in 4K lol
To find the greatest number of pieces measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the 3/4 meter ribbon, we need to divide the length of the ribbon by the length of each piece.
First, let's convert the lengths to a common denominator. The length of the ribbon is already in 1/4 meter units. To convert 1/3 meter to a common denominator of 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 4:
1/3 meter = (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12 meter = 1/4 meter.
Now that both lengths are measured in 1/4 meter units, we can find the number of pieces that can be cut. We divide the length of the ribbon by the length of each piece:
(3/4 meter) / (1/4 meter) = (3/4) * (4/1) = 3 pieces.
Therefore, the greatest number of pieces measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the ribbon is 3.
To calculate how much ribbon will be left after Sun Yi cuts the ribbon, we need to subtract the length of the cut pieces from the length of the ribbon.
The length of each cut piece is (1/3 meter) * (3 pieces) = 1 meter.
Therefore, the remaining ribbon length is (3/4 meter) - (1 meter) = -1/4 meter.
However, negative lengths are not possible in this context, so it means that there won't be any ribbon left after Sun Yi cuts the 3 pieces measuring 1/3 meter.
