a seamstress has a piece of cloth that is 3 yards long she cuts it into shorter lengths of 16 inches each. how many of the shorter pieces can she cut?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: In this question the vital information that a person needs to have is the conversion of yard to inches. Once that is done, the question becomes easy as most of the required information's are already given in the question.
1 yard = 36 inches
Then
3 yards = 36 * 3 inches
   = 108 inches.
Now let us get down to finding the answer to the question.
Length of the cloth that needs to be cut into shorter lengths = 3 yards
      = 108 inches
Length of the shorter pieces = 16 inches
Then
umber of shorter pieces that can be cut = 108/16
   = 6.75
So from the above deduction we can easily conclude that 6 shorter pieces of 16 inches can be cut and still there will be a little excess piece of cloth remaining.

Answer 2

Answer:

She can cut 6.75 shorter pieces of cloth

Further explanation

The division operation is one of the basic arithmetic operations

Common signs used are $\large{\boxed{:}}}$ or $\large{\boxed{\slash}}$

The division is written by placing the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line between them or use a slash with the numerator's position and the denominator is parallel

The division is actually an iterative subtraction operation (as many as the number of divisors)

Division is the opposite of multiplying

The general form of division can be stated by:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{divident:divisor=quotient+remainder}}$

example:

7: 3 = 2 + 1

7 = dividend
3 = divisor
2 = quotient
1 = remainder

Division operation statement:

"7 divided by 3 equals 2 remainder 1"

The form of division can also be expressed in terms of fractions

In the example above, the form of mixed fractions is

$\displaystyle (7)/(3) =2(1)/(3)$

Mixed fractions consist of whole number and proper fractions

a seamstress cuts a piece of cloth that is 3 yards long into shorter lengths of 16 inches each.

we translate this sentence into Arithmetic operations

$\displaystyle 3~yards/16~inches$

Because One yard is equal to 36 inches,

3 yards = $\displaystyle 3*36$

3 yards = $\large{\boxed{\bold{108~inches}}}$

then equation becomes :

$\displaystyle 108~inches/16~inches$

$\large{\boxed{\bold{6.75`pieces}}$

or as mixed fraction :

$\displaystyle 6(75)/(100)$

$\boxed{\bold{ 6(3)/(4)}}$

Seb made a jump of two and a half meters Kirsty's jump was 10 centimeters longer how long was Kirsty's jump

Answers

First of all, a meter is equal to 100cm.
$1m=100cm$

Seb made a jump of two and a half meters. ( $2 (1)/(2)$ or $2.5$ )
Multiply 100 by 2.

$100*2=200$

Now we need the half.
What is half of 100?
50 is half of 100.

So, add 50 to the 200.

$200+50=250$

Kirsty's jump was 10 centimeters longer.

Add 10 centimeters to the 250 centimeters.
$250+10=260$

Kirsty's jump was 260 centimeters high, or 2.55 meters.

2m 60cm is think because half off 100 is 50 so add 10 on and you get 60
