Answers

Answer 1
Answer: convert to inches
1 meter=39 inches

12 times 30=360 inches

468-360=108 inches

108 inches=how many feet
1foot=12 inches
1/12foot=1 inch
108 times 1/12foot=9

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the ribbon size is 5(¹/₃) and the piece to be cut is 2/ 3 feet in size.

The number of pieces will be calculated by dividing the total size by the per piece size.

N = [ 5(¹/₃) / ( 2/ 3) ]

N = [ (16/3) / (2 / 3)]

N = 16 / 2

N = 8

Therefore, the number of pieces will be equal to 8.

2/3 foot pieces from 5(1/3) pieces.. hmm. Well, step one is to convert that mixed number into an improper fraction. To do that, Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator, and put that answer in a fraction over the original denominator. In this case, it would be 3*5=15+1=16/3.
Now that the denominators are the same, all we need to do is see how many times 2 goes into 16. 16/2 is 8. Your answer is 8.
