Question

Aanya bought 2 1/2 yards of ribbon. She cuts the ribbon into pieces 3/8 of a yard in length. How many pieces does she have?​

Answer 1

If you convert 1/2 to the denominator of 8, you would get 4/8. Meaning you have 2 4/8 yards of ribbon cut into pieces of 3/8. Aanya would have 6 pieces of ribbon with 2/8 left over. Hope this helps.
