Answer 1

2 2/3 yards

Explanation:

You divide the 8 and 3. After that, you get the remainder and make it the numerator and the 3 the denominator.

Answer 2

Answer:
`2(2)/(3)` yards

Explanation:

First of all we are given that ,

The entire length of the ribbon = 8 yards

The number of pieces of equal lengths cut from it = 3

Then, the length of each puce = Length of entire ribbon ÷ No. of pieces

= 8 yards ÷ 3

`=(8)/(3)` yards

`=(2(3)+2)/(3)` yards

`=2+(2)/(3)` yards

`=2(2)/(3)` yards

Hence, the length of each piece
`=2(2)/(3)` yards
