Apiece of string is 3 yards long. how many 1 and a quarter yard long pieces can julie cut from the string?

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie wants to cut 1 and a quarter yard long pieces of a 3 yard string.

1 and a quarter yard =   yards =   yards

= 1.25 yards

The total length of a piece of string = 3 yards

Julie can cut the number of pieces of 1.25 yards =

                                                                                 = 2.4 pieces

She can cut 2 pieces of 1.25 yard = 1.25 × 2 = 2.5 yard

3 yard - 2.5 yard = 0.5 yard would be leftover.

8/9n - 1 1/3

BTW * MEANS TIMES

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:   4/9(2n - 3) [1]

The distributive property says that:

a * (b + c) = a * b + a* c

Apply the distributive property in equation [1] we get;

4/9 *  2n + 4/9 * (-3)

Simplify:

8/9n - 4/3

We can write 4/3  in mixed fraction as:

4/3 = 1 1/3

then;

8/9n - 1 1/3

Therefore, the expression which is equivalent to 4/9(2n - 3)  is, 8/9n - 1 1/3
