Answer: There are four 3/4 yd long strips
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, he has a piece of 6 yards long.
First, he cuts a 3 yd long piece, so the length left is:
6 yards + 3 yards = 3 yards
He has 3 yards long left.
Now, he wants to divide it in 3/4 yd long strips, so we need to divide the length we have by the length in which we want to divide it, this is:
N = 3 yd/(3/4yd) = 3*(4/3) = 4
There are four 3/4 yd long strips
