Answer:
1. - 5 3/4 ÷ 6 = 23/4 ÷6/1 = 23/4 x 1/6 = 23/24
- Each piece will be 23/24 meters long
2. - 35 ÷ ¾ = 35/1 ÷ ¾ = 35/1 × 4/3 = 140/3 = 46 ²/3
- Andrea can make 46 ²/3 aprons.
3. 5 1/4 ÷ 3 = 21/4 ÷ 3/1 = 21/4 x 1/3 = 21/12 = 1 9/12 = 1 3/4
Each recipe needs 1 3/4 cups of flour.
4. 15 ÷ 3/4 = 15/1 ÷ 3/4 = 12/1 x 4/3 = 48/3 = 16
They can make 16 packs
5. 8 ÷ 1 3/4 = 8/1 ÷ 7/4 = 8/1 x 4/7 = 32/7 = 4 4//7
She can make 4 4/7 shorts.
