Answer:
4 1/8 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you are using a string that is 100 ft. long then and you need exactly 24 3/8 ft. sections, you would do these calculations:
3/8 = 0.375
100/24.375 = 4.1026
.1026 = 1/8
4 1/8 ft long pieces
Answer:
The string is cut into 4.1025 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information:
Length of the string = 100 feet
Length of one piece = [tex]24\displaystyle\frac{3}{8} = \displaystyle\frac{195}{8} ~feet[/tex]
Number of pieces =
Formula:
[tex]\text{Number of pieces} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of string}}{\text{Length of one piece}}[/tex]
Number of pieces =
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{100}{\frac{195}{8} } = \displaystyle\frac{100\times 8}{195}\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{800}{195} = 4\displaystyle\frac{4}{39} = 4.1025[/tex]
Thus, the string is cut into 4.1025 pieces.
