How many 1/3-inch pieces can be cut from a piece of ribbon 4/9 of an inch long?

Well, if we assume that 1/3-inch pieces can be cut perfectly without any wastage, you can simply divide the length of the ribbon (4/9 inch) by the size of each piece (1/3 inch):

(4/9) ÷ (1/3) = (4/9) × (3/1) = 12/9 = 4/3

So, you can cut approximately 4/3 (or 1 1/3) pieces from a ribbon that's 4/9 of an inch long. However, I must say, that's a rather odd-sized ribbon to be cutting into pieces!

To find out how many 1/3-inch pieces can be cut from a piece of ribbon that is 4/9 of an inch long, we need to divide the length of the ribbon by the length of each 1/3-inch piece.

The length of the ribbon is 4/9 of an inch.

Now, we divide 4/9 by 1/3:

(4/9) ÷ (1/3)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(4/9) x (3/1)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:

(4 x 3) / (9 x 1) = 12/9

Simplifying the fraction, we have:

12/9 = 4/3

So, we can cut 4/3 of an inch pieces from a ribbon that is 4/9 of an inch long.

However, since we cannot have fractions of pieces, we need to see how many whole 1/3-inch pieces can be cut.

Dividing 4/9 by 1/3 gives us:

(4/9) ÷ (1/3) = (4/9) x (3/1) = 12/9 = 1 and 1/3

Therefore, we can cut 1 and 1/3 whole 1/3-inch pieces from a ribbon that is 4/9 of an inch long.

To determine how many 1/3-inch pieces can be cut from a ribbon that is 4/9 of an inch long, you need to divide the length of the ribbon by the length of each piece.

First, let's convert the given fraction into a decimal. To do this, divide the numerator (4) by the denominator (9):
4 ÷ 9 = 0.444...

Now, we can divide the length of the ribbon by the length of each piece:
0.444... ÷ 1/3

To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1, so:
0.444... × 3/1 = 1.333...

Since we cannot have a fraction of a piece, we need to round the result down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can cut 1 1/3-inch piece from a ribbon that is 4/9 of an inch long.

4/9/(1/3) = 4/9 * 3/1 = 12/9 = 4/3 = 4 one-third pieces.
