Let’s get a common denominator for 3/4 and 3/8. 8 is our LCD so let’s multiply 3/8 by 2 on both the top and bottom. 3/8 then becomes 6/8. How many 3/8 are in 6/8? The answer is 2 because 3/8 + 3/8 is 6/8. So she cuts 2 pieces.

Answer: She cuts 2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • Length of the board: 3/4 yard
  • Length of the pieces: 3/8 yard

So, to calculate the number of pieces we have to divide the length of the board (3/4) by the length of each piece (3/8)

Mathematically speaking:

3/4 ÷ 3/8 = (3x8) /(4x3)=24/12= 2  pieces
