Respuesta :

Answer:

He needs 4 more pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of more string pieces that are needed

Firstly, we need to the number of string pieces obtained from the 8 2/5 inch piece

we divide 8 2/5 by 3/5

That will be;

42/5 * 5/3 = 14

So what he will get is 14 pieces from the 8 2/5 inch

The number of pieces needed is thus;

18-14 = 4
