Answer 1

Part 1:

We are going to divide.

18 ÷ 2/5

18/1 * 5/2

90/2

[ 45 pieces ] can be cut.

Part 2:

We are going to divide.

5 1/5 ÷ 1 4/10

26/5 ÷ 14/10

26/5 * 10/14

260/70

3.7

Note that we need FULL pieces so we are going to round down.

3.7 -> 3

Therefore, the answer is [ B.) 3 ]

Best of Luck!
