The length of a ribbon is 3/4 meter. Sun yi needs pieces measuring 1/3 meter for an art project. What is the greatest number of pieces measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the ribbon? How much ribbon will be left after sun yi cuts the ribbon? Explain your reasoning.
You need to DIVIDE the 3/4 meter into 1/3 meter pieces, so.... (3/4)÷(1/3) = (3/4) *(3/1) = (9/4) = 2.25 She can cut 2 (1/3) meter pieces. To find what is left subtract (2/3) from the original (3/4). (3/4)-(2/3)= (1/12) meter
