Answer: Mr. Diaz will have 21 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, Length of the complete piece bought by Mr. Diaz= 7 feet
Length of each piece cut = [tex]\dfrac13[/tex] foot
By division operation,
Number of pieces = ( Length of complete piece ) ÷ (Length of each piece cut)
[tex]=7\div\dfrac13=7\times3=21\ \ [\because a\div \dfrac{b}{c}=a\times\dfrac{c}{b}][/tex]
Hence, Mr. Diaz will have 21 pieces.
