Demarco has a piece of fabric 6yd long. He uses a piece 3yd long. He cuts the rest into strips that are each 3\4 yd long.How many 3\4 yd long strips are there?

Write an equation to represent this situation.

Answer 1

6-3 = 3 left for strips

divide 3 by 3/4, that's the same as multiply 3 by the inverse or 3x(4/3) = 4 strips
