Mike made a 9 inch sub sandwich he needs to cut it into 2/3 inch pieces how many pieces will he be able to cut and what is left over

Question

Idk what this answer is ?

Answer 1

You're cutting something into pieces, so you're dividing one into the other:

9 ÷ ²/₃

What happens when you divide by a fraction? You flip it and multiply:

9 * ³/₂ = ²⁷/₂

Change the above improper fraction into a mixed number, and you'll have your answer. The whole number will be the number of pieces, and the fraction will be how much of an inch is left over.
