Answer: 6 pieces
=======================================================
Explanation:
3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying both parts by 2
We have a ribbon that is 6/8 of an inch long. We want to cut it into 1/8 inch pieces. We can see there will be exactly 6 pieces
Note how 6*(1/8) = 6/8
Or we can think of it as "we have a ribbon that is 6 units long and we want to cut it into pieces that are 1 unit each, so we'll have 6 pieces total". Replace "unit" with "1/8 inch" and you'll have the same idea.
To determine the number of gallons of gasoline that is used, we need to know the rate of usage of gasoline. This rate would describe the number of gasoline in units of volume that is being used per distance in units of length. In this case, we need the rate in units of miles per gallon. From what is asked and the given values, we simply divide the rate to the the total distance that was traveled by the car. We calculate as follows:
Gallons of gasoline = 293 miles / 57 miles / gallon
Gallons of gasoline = 5.14 gallons
Therefore, about 5 gallons of gasoline was consumed by the hybrid car for a distance of 57 miles.
