Answer: The greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.
And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of a ribbon = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
Length of piece for an art project = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
So, the greatest number of piece measuring [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] meter that can be cut from the ribbon is given by
[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\=2\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
So, the greatest number she can cut from is 2 pieces.
And the length of ribbon would be left after cutting is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
