How many 2 over 3 foot pieces can wendy cut from the 5 and 1 over 3 feet of ribbon? show your work

using the information in part a, interpret the meaning of the quotient in terms of the two fractions given.

If a piece of rope is 8 m long cut it into 9 equal-length pieces

2/3 foot pieces from 5(1/3) pieces.. hmm. Well, step one is to convert that mixed number into an improper fraction. To do that, Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator, and put that answer in a fraction over the original denominator. In this case, it would be 3*5=15+1=16/3.
Now that the denominators are the same, all we need to do is see how many times 2 goes into 16. 16/2 is 8. Your answer is 8.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
