Apiece of ribbon that is 2/3 of a yard long is to be cut into 1/12 yard pieces. how many pieces will there be?

Length of the original ribbon = 2/3 yard
Length of the ribbon in which the actual ribbon has to be cut = 1/12 yards
The above information's are already given in the question. It is required to find the number of pieces that the ribbon can be cut with the length that is already mentioned.
Then
Number of pieces that will be there = (2/3)/(1/12)
                                                         = (2 * 12)/3
                                                         = 24/3
                                                         = 8
So the actual ribbon can be cut into 8 pieces and each piece will have a length of 1/12 yards. Hopefully the procedure for doing this problem is clear to you. this is the easiest method for attempting these kind of problems.
