Question

how many pieces of string that are 2/7 of an inch long can be cut from a piece of string that are 7/8 of an inch long

Answer 1

namely, how many times does 2/7 go into 7/8?

$\bf \cfrac{7}{8}\div\cfrac{2}{7}\implies \cfrac{7}{8}\cdot \cfrac{7}{2}\implies \cfrac{49}{16}\implies 3\frac{1}{16}\impliedby \textit{3 whole times}$

Answer 2

Three pieces can be cut from a string that is 7/8 of an inch long.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

Operators which let do a basic mathematical calculation

+ Addition operation: Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 12 + 2 = 14

- Subtraction operation: Subtracts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 12 -2 = 10

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 12*2 = 24

Suppose X piece of length 2/7 cut from a string that is 7/8 of an inch long

From a piece of string that is 7/8 of an inch long, how many pieces of string that are 2/7 of an inch long can be cut

Then X×(2/7) = 7/8

X = (7/8)×(7/2)

X = 49/16

X = 3.0625

X ≈ 3

Hence, three pieces can be cut from a string that is 7/8 of an inch long.
