A pipe is 24 feet long. It needs to be cut into pieces that are each 3 over 8 feet long. How many pieces can be made from the pipe?

Answer 1

To find out how many pieces can be made from the pipe, we need to divide the length of the pipe (24 feet) by the length of each piece (3/8 feet).
To divide 24 feet by 3/8 feet, we flip the division and multiply: 24 feet / 3/8 feet = 24 feet * 8/3 feet = 192 feet/3 feet = 64 pieces.
Thus, 64 pieces can be made from the pipe. Answer: \boxed{64}.
