Question

kristen wants to cut ladder rungs from a 6 ft board, if each rung is 3/4 ft, how many rungs can she cut?

Answer 1

how many times 3/4 go  into 6?

well    $\bf \cfrac{\quad 6\quad }{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{6}{1}\quad }{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{6}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{3}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 4}{1\cdot 3}\implies \cfrac{24}{3}\implies 8$
