A ribbon

Bree has a piece of ribbon that is 6 inches long. She needs to cut it into equal pieces measuring 3/4 of an inch. How many pieces will she have? Answer in simplest form

Correct answer:

x =  8

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=6\text{in} \\ b=\frac{3}{4}=0.75\text{in} \\ x=a/b=6/\frac{3}{4}=6:\frac{3}{4}=6\cdot \frac{4}{3}=\frac{6\cdot 4}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8 \end{gathered}$$
