Demarco has a piece of fabric 6 yd long. He a piece 3 yd long. He cuts the rest into strips that are each 3/4 yd long. How many 3/4 yd long strips are there? Show your work

Answer: There are four 3/4 yd long strips

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, he has a piece of 6 yards long.

First, he cuts a 3 yd long piece, so the length left is:

6 yards + 3 yards = 3 yards

He has 3 yards long left.

Now, he wants to divide it in 3/4 yd long strips, so we need to divide the length we have by the length in which we want to divide it, this is:

N = 3 yd / (3/4yd) = 3 * (4/3) = 4

There are four 3/4 yd long strips
