Answer: 11 pieces can be cut
Step-by-step explanation:
A piece of string is to be cut into equal size pieces. If the length of the string is 11/12 foot long and each piece is to be 1/24 foot long, that means we want to divide 11/12 into equal pieces of 1/24 foot long each. To determine the number of pieces that can be cut, we will divide the total length of the string by the length of each piece. Therefore
number of pieces that can be cut
= 11/24 ÷ 1/24 = 11/24 × 24/1
= 11 pieces
