Kadyn Tyler · Answer 1

Each piece length will be 1/8 part of the whole piece, so as the total length is 9 yards then we will have that the lengh of each piece is one and eighth yard. The division expression is as follows: Piece length = 9 * 1/8 = 9/8 = (8+1) / 8 = 8/8+1/8 = 1 + 1/8 = 1 + 0.125 = 1.125 yards

Divide 9 by 8 to get your answer ... dont forget to label
