C. 26
D. 12
Answer:
Option B. 20 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a strip of wood = 78 inches
This strip of wood is to be cut into pieces = inches
We have to calculate how many pieces can be cut.
So first we convert mixed fraction to proper fraction and then to decimal.
= = 3.75 inches
Now we divide 78 inches to 3.75 inches.
78 ÷ 3.75 = 20.8 pieces
we got 20 pieces of inches.
Option B. 20
For this case, we have that by definition, the proportions can be expressed in different ways. Example, if we have a dog and three cats:
75%: It's percentage
0.75: In decimal (75% are cats)
: In fraction. (There are of cats)
: Using ":" to separate sample values. (For every three cats there is a dog)
Care should be taken with the proportions, always multiplying the numbers in the proportion by the same value.
