Answer:
6 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 divided by 1/8
= 3/4 / 1/8
Invert the 1/8 and multiply:
= 3/4 * 8/1
= 24/4
= 6.
Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts
x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21
Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer
If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3
As a check,
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out
3/22 is the answer in simplest form
