a sheet of address labels is 6 3/4 inches long and 4 1/3 inches wide the length is divided into sections that are 1 1/8 inches long and the width is divided into sections that are 1 1/12 inches wide solve this multi-step problem dividing with fraction how many sections are there???
To solve this problem, we need to divide the length and width of the sheet into their respective sections.
For the length:
6 3/4 inches ÷ 1 1/8 inches = (27/4 inches) ÷ (9/8 inches)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
(27/4 inches) * (8/9 inches) = (27 * 8) / (4 * 9) inches = 216/36 inches
We simplify the fraction:
216/36 inches = 6 inches
So, there are 6 sections in the length.
For the width:
4 1/3 inches ÷ 1 1/12 inches = (13/3 inches) ÷ (13/12 inches)
(13/3 inches) * (12/13 inches) = (13 * 12) / (3 * 13) inches = 156/39 inches
156/39 inches = 4 inches
So, there are 4 sections in the width.
In conclusion, there are 6 sections in the length and 4 sections in the width.
