Brian cuts a 90-inch-long rope into pieces that are 3/4 inch long . How many pieces does he have ?

Question

What is the soulotion to this problem ?

Answer 1

To determine the number of 3/4 inch pieces that can be cut, you need to divide 90 inches by 3/4 inch.

This would be accomplished by multiplying 90 by the reciprocal of 3/4 which is 4/3:

90 / 3/4 = 90 * 4/3 = 360/ 3 = 120 pieces
