If you have 8 yards of twine and you cut the twine into 3/4 pieces each . How many pieces can you cut?
3/4 of what?
Your question doesn't make any sense the way you posted it.
IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE SAME THING
To find out how many pieces you can cut from 8 yards of twine when each piece is 3/4 yards long, you need to divide the total length of twine by the length of each piece.
First, convert 8 yards to inches, as it is easier to work with smaller units for this calculation. Since there are 36 inches in 1 yard, multiply 8 yards by 36:
8 yards * 36 inches/yard = 288 inches
Next, divide the total length of twine (288 inches) by the length of each piece (3/4 yards). Convert 3/4 yards to inches by multiplying by 36:
(3/4 yards) * (36 inches/yard) = 9/2 inches
Now, divide the total length by the length of each piece:
288 inches / (9/2 inches) = 288 inches * (2/9) inches
To simplify this division, multiply the numerators and denominators:
288 * 2 = 576
9 * 1 = 9
Now divide the product:
576 inches / 9 inches = 64
Therefore, you can cut 64 pieces from 8 yards of twine, if each piece is 3/4 yards long.
