Lisa has a rope that measures 9 1 4 feet in length. she will cut the rope into pieces that are each 3/4 foot long. how many full pieces can lisa cut from her rope, and how much of her rope will be remaining?

Divide the whole (914 feet) by the size of the pieces (3/4 foot)

x= number of 3/4 foot pieces

x= 914 feet ÷ 3/4 foot pieces

*Multiply by 3/4 reciprocal (inverse)

x= 914 * 4/3
x= (914*4) / 3
x= 3656/3
x= 1218.66
x= 1218 whole pieces and 66/100 is left over.

There are 1218 foot sized pieces. There is 66/100 foot left over (or 0.66 foot left - not rounded). If you round to the tenths, it's 7/10 foot left.

Hope this helps! :)
