Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
A metal rod is 3/4 meters long. It will be cut into pieces that are each 1/48 meters long. How many pieces will be made from the rod?
let n = number of pieces the rod would be cut into
the following equation can be used to represent the question
3/4 x 1/n = 1/48
divide both sides of the equation by 3/4
1/n = 1/48 ÷ 3/4
1/n = 1/48 x 4/3 = 1/36
n = 36 rods
