To find the number of sections in the length, we need to divide the total length of the sheet by the length of each section.
Total length of the sheet = 6 and 3/4 inches
Length of each section = 1 and 1/8 inches
To divide the fractions, we can convert them to decimal form:
6 and 3/4 = 6.75
1 and 1/8 = 1.125
Next, we divide the total length by the length of each section:
6.75 ÷ 1.125 = 6
Therefore, there are 6 sections in the length.
Similarly, to find the number of sections in the width, we divide the total width of the sheet by the width of each section.
Total width of the sheet = 4 and 1/3 inches
Width of each section = 1 and 1/12 inches
Again, we convert the fractions to decimal form:
4 and 1/3 = 4.33
1 and 1/12 = 1.0833
Now, we divide the total width by the width of each section:
4.33 ÷ 1.0833 = 4
Therefore, there are 4 sections in the width.
In conclusion, there are 6 sections in the length and 4 sections in the width of the sheet of address labels.
A sheet of address labels is 6 and 3/4 in long and 4 and 1/3 in wide the length is divided into sections that are 1 and 1/8 in long and the width is divided into sections that are 1 and 112 in wide solve this multi-step problem involving division with fractions how many sections are there
