Question
Anna bought a strip of fabric 10 yd long. She needs a 1 and 1/3 yd piece to make a pillow. How many pillows can Anna make?
10/1 * 3/4 = 7.5
10/1 * 3/4 = 7.5

Oh, o.k. Sorry I didn't see that earlier.
Yes, 7.5 is right. But I doubt if Anna wants a half a pillow -- so she could make 7 pillows.
