Skipper · Answer 1

2 pieces of 3/8 yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

They tell us that originally the fabric measures 3/4 of a yard and then it is cut and remains pieces of 3/8 of a yard, so we must know how many pieces could have been cut so that they will be this size, therefore we must divide:

3/4 / (3/8) = 2

Which means there are 2 pieces of 3/8 yard.
