Roberto has a 7/9 yard piece of yarn for a project. How many 1/5 yard pieces can he cut from his yarn?(1 point)
To find out how many 1/5 yard pieces Roberto can cut from his 7/9 yard piece of yarn, we need to divide the length of the yarn by the length of each piece.
7/9 ÷ 1/5
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip the second fraction upside down).
(7/9) x (5/1) = (7 x 5) / (9 x 1) = 35/9
Therefore, Roberto can cut 35/9 yard pieces from his yarn.
