Total Lenght = 2 1/4

Lenght of each piece = 3/8

Divide the total lenght by the lenght of each piece:

Total lenght = 2 1/4 = (2*4+1)/4 = 9/4

Total lenght / lenght of each piece = (9/4 ) / (3/8)

To divide 2 fractions we can multiply by the inverse of the second fraction:

[tex]\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{8}{3}=\frac{72}{12}[/tex]

Simplify by 12:

6

Answer: 6 pieces
