Question

Jonathan has 3 1/3 yards of fabric. He cuts it into strips to wax his car. Each strip is 5/6 yards long. How many strips of fabric does he have?

Answer 1

First, change 3 1/3 to an improper fraction
3 1/3 = 10/3
Next, convert that to 6ths
10/3 = 20/6

Divide 20/6 by 5/6 = 4 strips of fabric
