A ribbon of length 5¼ m is cut into small pieces each of length 3/4 m. Number of pieces will be
a. 5
b. 6
c. 7
d. 8

Solution:

We divide the given fractions. The total number of pieces = Total length of a ribbon/length of one piece of ribbon.

= (5¼) / (3/4)

= 21/4 × 4/3

= 7

Therefore, if a ribbon of length 5¼ m is cut into small pieces each of length 3/4 m. The number of pieces will be 7.

✦ Try This: A ribbon of length 7¼ m is cut into small pieces each of length 1/4 m. Number of pieces will be-----------.

To solve the above problem you need to first solve the mixed fraction term using fraction rules. You can easily calculate the total number of pieces by using the division property of fractions.
