Melanie has a piece of cloth 12 and 1/3 yards long. how many 3/4 yard-long pieces can be cut from the cloth?

16 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of pieces, we simply divide 12 1/3 by 3/4

12 1/3 ÷ 3/4

but 12 1/3 = 37/ 4 ( converting to improper fraction)

12 1/3 ÷ 3/4

=37/ 3 ÷ 3/4

= 37/3 × 4/3

= 148/9

= 16. 44444

= 16 approximately

Therefore we can get 16 pieces of yard from the cloth
