Answer:

35/20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the keyword “cut” means to divide, so we now know we have to use division.

7 3/4÷5/1

First, make 7 3/4 an improper fraction.

7 x 4 = 28

28+7= 35

Remember to keep the denominator.

35/4 ÷ 5/1

Then, use the method Keep, Change, & Flip.

(35/4)(1/5) = 35/20

Therefore…

Each piece will be 35/20 yards long.
