→ A piece of wire 2/3m long is to be cut into 6 pieces of the same length. What is the length of each piece?

9 3/4 = 9 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4

( 39 / 4 ) / 6 =

39 / 4 * 6 =

39 / 24 =

3 * 13 / 3 * 8 =

13 / 8 =

( 8 + 5 ) / 8 =

8 / 8 + 5 / 8 =

1 + 5 / 8 =

1 5/8

9 3/4 / 6 = 13 / 8 = 1 5/8

So the Answer is- 1 5/8

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
