Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given length of canvas = 5 feet.
Length of each piece cut of canvas = 1/4 feet long.
Total number of pieces would canvas had = [tex]\frac{Total \ length \ of \ canvas}{Length \ of \ one \ piece \ of \ canvas}[/tex].
Plugging values in above formula, we get
Total number of pieces would canvas had = [tex]\frac{5}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex].
Converting division into multiplication, the fraction 1/4 would flip to 4/1.
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{5}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]5\times \frac{4}{1}[/tex] = 20.
