3. Stanley is cutting canvas into pieces. The canvas is 3/4 yard long.How many 1/8 yard pieces can he cut?

Sagot :

Answer:

6 pieces of 1/8 yard,stanley can cut

Answer:

Let us use the LCD method for this.

Explaining the LCD, this means that it is the LCM of the denominators in order to make them both equal in value.

Now, let us do the solution so that we can know how many pieces are there can Stanley cut in the 3/4 yard of canva

Solution:

[tex]\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3\times2}{4\times2} \div \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Do the reciprocal on the divisor.

= [tex]\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{8}{1}[/tex]

Change it into a multiplication symbol, with 8/1 turning into a denominator.

= [tex]\frac{6}{8} \times 8[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{48}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\boxed{6}[/tex]

Therefore, Stanley can cut 6 yard pieces in a 3/4 yard-long canva.
