Lola had one yard of string... i think that says she used 1/4 yd for her project. She wants to divide the rest of the string into pieces that are 1/8 long. How many of the 1/8 pieces of string can she make? Explain solution.
you can put this into decimals to make it easier. Meaning dividing 1 by 4 will give you 0.25 and 1 by 8 gives you 0.125
now subtract 0.25 yds from 1 whuch equal 0.75 Then divide that by 0.125
This gives you the answer 6. The answer is 6. Hope this helped
