    2 Strips of 1/3 yard length can be cut from a 5/6 yard piece of fabric

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume "x" pieces of 1/3 yard can be cut from 5/6 yard length.

    The Equation can be framed as:

    x*1/3 = 5/6

    x = (5/6) / (1/3)

    x = 5/6 * 3/1 = 5/2

    x = 5/2 or 2.5

    Since we cannot have 0.5 of a 1/3 yard strip, the maximum we can 2 full 1/3 yard strips can be cut from a 5/6 yard piece of fabric
