Answer:
Number of groups = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of inches in each group = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Number of groups = 'x'
Total inches = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Formula to calculate the number of quantities when the total value of the quantity and number per quantity is given is:
[tex]\textrm{Number of quantities}=\frac{\textrm{Given value}}{\textrm{Value in each quantity}}[/tex]
Here, number of groups is given as:
[tex]\textrm{Number of groups}=\frac{\textrm{Total inches}}{\textrm{Value in each group}}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{1}{3}\\\\x=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{1}\\\\x=\frac{9}{4}=2.25\approx 2[/tex]
As number can't be in fractions so the number of groups is 2.
