    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total length of the piece of rope that the worker at the construction store was asked to cut into pieces that are each 4.5 feet long is 48-foot.

    Therefore, the number of 4.5 feet pieces of rope that can be cut from the 48-foot piece of rope would be

    48/4.5 = 10.7

    Since the length must be 4.5 feet, then only 10 pieces can be cut

    Part b

    The length of rope that would be leftover is 48 - 45 = 3 feet

    a) 10 pieces

    b) 3 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) The number of useful pieces of rope will be the integer part of the result from ...

    48/4.5 = 10 2/3

    That is, 10 pieces of rope 4.5 feet long can be cut from a rope 48 feet long.

    __

    b) Those pieces total (4.5 ft) * 10 = 45 ft, so the amount left over is ...

    48 ft - 45 ft = 3 ft

    3 feet of rope will be left over.
