PROBLEM:
Your aunt told you to bought a cake. It measures 12 inches long. How many slices can be make if each slices measures 1 1/8 inches long?
[tex]\boxed{1\frac{1}{8}}[/tex] = [tex]\boxed{\frac{9}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{12 \div \frac{9}{8} = \frac{12}{1} \div \frac{9}{8} = \frac{12}{1} \div \frac{8}{9} } \\ \boxed{\frac{12}{1} \div \frac{8}{9} = \frac{96}{9} } \\ \boxed{\frac{96}{9} = 10 \frac{2}{3} }[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\boxed{10\frac{2}{3}}[/tex] slices of cake can be make.
