Answer:

2 2/3 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide the 8 and 3. After that, you get the remainder and make it the numerator and the 3 the denominator.

Answer: [tex]2\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] yards

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we are given that ,

The entire length of the ribbon = 8 yards

The number of pieces of equal lengths cut from it = 3

Then, the length of each puce = Length of entire ribbon ÷ No. of pieces

= 8 yards ÷ 3

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{3}[/tex] yards

[tex]=\dfrac{2(3)+2}{3}[/tex] yards

[tex]=2+\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] yards

[tex]=2\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] yards

Hence, the length of each piece [tex]=2\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] yards
