Ametal rod is 3/4 meters long. it will be cut into pieces that are each 1/48 meters long. how many pieces will be made from the rod?

Divide the total length (3/4 meters) by the portion size (1/48 meters).

=3/4 ÷ 1/48

to divide the fraction, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/48

=3/4 * 48/1
=(3*48)/(4*1)
=144/4
=36 pieces

ANSWER: The rod can be cut into 36 pieces.

Hope this helps! :)
