Abrick of cheese is 3/4 inch thick. a deli cuts the brick of cheese into slices that are 1/10 inch thick. how many slices are cut from the brick of cheese?

The way I would do this is convert everything into a common denominator. Therefore, the cheese block is 15/20 inch thick and each slice is 2/20 inch thick. Then 15/2 would be 7 with a remainder of 1 so you can cut 7 slices and have 1/20 inch of cheese left over.

11/2.2 = 5 inches for the length 8.5/2.2= 3.86 inches for the width
