Answer:
18 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the 3 yd string by 1/6:
[tex]\frac{3}{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]
Rewrite that to look a little more manageable:
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
And of course you know that if you want to divide fractions, you flip the one on the bottom upside down and change the sign to multiplication:
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]
Do that multiplication and you get 18 pieces.
