A sheet of address labels is 6 3/4 inches long and 4 1/3 inches wide. The length is divided into sections that are 1 1/8 inches long, and the width is divided into sections that are 1 1/12 inches wide. Solve this multi-step problem involving division with fractions. How many sections are there?
To find the number of sections along the length, divide the total length of the sheet by the length of each section: 6 3/4 ÷ 1 1/8 = (27/4) ÷ (9/8) = 27/4 x 8/9 = (27 x 8) / (4 x 9) = 216/36 = 6 sections
To find the number of sections along the width, divide the total width of the sheet by the width of each section: 4 1/3 ÷ 1 1/12 = (13/3) ÷ (13/12) = 13/3 x 12/13 = (13 x 12) / (3 x 13) = 156/39 = 4 sections
So, there are 6 sections along the length and 4 sections along the width.
