Question.

A rope of length $13\frac{3}{4}$ m is cut into pieces measuring $1\frac{3}{8}$ m each. Find the number of pieces.

Solution.

We have the next equation:

$$13\frac{3}{4} \div x = 1\frac{3}{8},$$

where $x$ – number of pieces.

So, $x = 13\frac{3}{4} \div 1\frac{3}{8} = 10$.

Answer.

10 pieces
