Kiley had a piece of bamboo skewer that measured 14 3/5 inches long. she wanted to cut it into toothpicks that were each 3 1/5 inches long. how many toothpicks can she make?

4 toothpicks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kiley had a piece of bamboo skewer that measured inches long. She wanted to cut it into toothpicks that were each inches long.

To find the number of toothpicks that Kiley can make from bamboo skewer, we need to divide the length of skewer by length of each toothpick.

First of all, we will convert our given mixed fractions into improper fractions as:

Dividing a fraction by another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of 2nd fraction.

Therefore, Kiley can make 4 toothpicks.
