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

She can make maximum 2 pieces

Amount left = m

Explanation:

1- getting the maximum number of pieces:

We know that the total length is m and that each piece would measure

To get the number of pieces, we would simply divide the total length by the length of each piece as follows:

number of pieces = pieces

We will need to round down to get the maximum number of pieces.

This means that the maximum number of pieces that she can cut is 2 pieces

2- getting the leftover:

We calculated that she can make two pieces each of length m

This means that:

total length of two pieces = m

We know that the total length is m

This means that:

leftover = m

Hope this helps :)
