Answer:
She cut 10 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of a ribbon cut by Leah is given as \(7\frac{1}{2}\) inch or \(\frac{15}{2}\) inch.
Now she cuts this length into small pieces of \(\frac{3}{4}\) inch.
So we have to find the number of pieces she cuts.
Let number f small pieces of ribbon are = x
then length of x pieces will be = \(\frac{3}{4}\)(x)
Total length of small pieces = \(\frac{15}{2}\) inch.
\(\frac{3x}{4}\) = \(\frac{15}{2}\)
x = \(\frac{15}{2}\) × \(\frac{4}{3}\)
= 5 × 2
= 10 pieces.
She cut 10 pieces.
