Answer:
2 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m[/tex]
[tex]Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m[/tex]
Required
Calculate the number of pieces
To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.
Represent this with x
[tex]x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}[/tex]
[tex]x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction
[tex]x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Change division to multiplication
[tex]x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{20}{9}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2.22[/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
