I need help with the following question. I tried it, but I don't think I am right. I got 11 1/15 for an answer. I am really confused. Please show me how you did it.

Question

Evette has 41 1/2ft of string. She wants to cut it into pieces 3 3/4ft long. How
many pieces of string will she have? How much string remains, if any?

Answer 1

you need to divide,, but first convert both given fractions to improper fraction:
41 1/2 = 83/2
3 3/4 = 15/4
thus,
(83/2)/(15/4) = (83/2)*(4/15)
166/15 = 11 1/15

therefore, 11 pieces and there is 1/15 ft of string left

so there,, :)

Answer 2

Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if I was right.
