4.5 * 12 = 54 inches
54/9
= 6
54/9
= 6
4 1/2 = 54 inches
54 / 9 = ________ pieces
First, we convert the length of each piece from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Thus, 4 1/2 feet is equal to 4 * 12 + 1/2 * 12 = 48 inches + 6 inches = 54 inches.
Now, we divide the total length of the fabric (54 inches) by the length of each piece (9 inches) to find out how many pieces Pat can cut:
54 inches / 9 inches = 6 pieces
Therefore, Pat can cut 6 pieces from the fabric.
