How many 3 3/4 inch wires can be cut from a spool of wire that is 100 inches long. Will there be any wire left over? If so, how much? (Explain the steps)

Sagot :

[tex]You \ have\ to\ divide\ 100\ by\ 3\frac{3}{4}:\\\\100:3\frac{3}{4}=\\\\\frac{400}{4}:\frac{15}{4}=\\\\\frac{400}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{15}=\\\\\frac{400}{15}=\frac{80}{3}=26\frac{2}{3}\\\\Can\ be\ cut\ 26\ wires.[/tex]
You divide 100 by 3 3/4 
THE ANSWER WOULD BE: THE WIRE CAN BE CUT INTO 26 PIECES
