An art student uses a roll of wallpaper to decorate two gift boxes. The student will use 1 1/5 yards of paper for one box and 9/
10 yard of paper for the other box. The paper must be cut into pieces that are 1/10 yard long. How many pieces will the student cut out to use for the gift boxes?
These equations do match up. All you have to do is find the solution to the first equation. After that, plug in that solution to the second equation. If it makes the equation true, then the equations match.
