Answer:
Approximately 12 pieces of yarn can be cut from the 96 inches roll of yarn
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the yarn = 96 inches
Length of each piece = 8 1/4 inches
Now, solving the mixed fraction [tex]8\frac{1}{4}[/tex] , we get
length of each piece = [tex]8\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(8)(4) + 1}{4}= \frac{33}{4}[/tex] inches
Now, the number of pieces = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total length of the Yarn}}{\textrm{Length of ecah piece}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{96}{\frac{33}{4} } = 96 \times \frac{4}{33} = 11.63[/tex]
⇒ number of pieces = 11.63
Hence approximately 12 pieces of yarn can be cut from the 96 inches roll of yarn.
