Given:
Length of cloth = 9 yards
Length of pieces = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] yards each
To find:
The number of pieces of cloths after cutting.
Solution:
Let n be the number of required pieces.
Length of each piece is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] yards. So, the length of n pieces is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n[/tex] yards.
The length of the whole cloth is 9 yards. So, [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n[/tex] yards must be equal to 9 yards.
[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n=9[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3.
[tex]n=9\times 3[/tex]
[tex]n=27[/tex]
Therefore, the Greata have 27 pieces of cloths.
