Given:
length of the piece of string = 3/4 inches
length of the piece that we need = 1/8 inches
The number of smaller piece that we can get from the original piece of string can be calculated using the formula:
[tex]\text{Number }of\text{ smaller piece = }\frac{length\text{ of original piece}}{length\text{ of smaller piece}}[/tex]
Applying this formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Number of smaller piece = }\frac{3}{4}\div\text{ }\frac{1}{8} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
If the number of pieces is represented as n:
[tex]n\text{ = }\frac{3}{4}\div\text{ }\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Answer:
