Answer:
2 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m[/tex]
[tex]Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m[/tex]
Required
Determine the number of pieces
To do this, we simply divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.
[tex]Number = \frac{Length}{Pieces}[/tex]
[tex]Number = 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Convert fraction
[tex]Number = \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Change sign to *
[tex]Number = \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{20}{9}[/tex]
[tex]Number = 2.2222[/tex]
[tex]Number = 2[/tex] (approximated)
