Question

Lucas is making a wire sculpture for art class. For the sculpture, he needs to cut a wire into pleces that
are each 1/16 of a foot long. If the original wire is 3/4 of a foot long, how many pieces will Lucas have?

Answer 1

⟹Answer:

➧Lucas can cut the wire into 12 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

⟹Lets Solve!

⟹The first step is to convert $\frac{3}{4}$ into $\frac{}{16}$ !

      To do this we must find what number multiplied by 4 equals 16.

16 ÷ 4 = 4

⟹Now we know our multiplier is 4. So lets multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{12}{16}$

$\frac{12}{16}$

⟹Next we just divide  $\frac{12}{16}$ by $\frac{1}{16}$.

$\frac{12}{16}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{16}$ = 12

➧Lucas can cut the wire into 12 pieces.

Woohoo! Brainliest appreciated! Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Based on the original length of the wire and the length Lucas requires, he will have 12 pieces.

The wire is 3/4 feet long and each piece required will be 1/16 feet.

The number of pieces in total is:

= Length of wire / Length of pieces

Solving gives:

= 3/4 ÷ 1/16

= 3/4 × 16/1

= 48/4

= 12 pieces

In conclusion, Lucas will have 12 pieces.
