Hi

 15yd / (5/8)yd = 120/5 =   24 pieces 

Answer by ptaylor(2198)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
 Let x=number of pieces

Then (5/8)x=15 multiply each side by 8

5x=120

x=24 ------pieces

CK

24*(5/8)=15

15=15



We know there's 120 (1/8) yd pieces in 15 yds because 120/8=15 . We also there's only 1/5 as many 5/8 yd pieces so 120/5=24



Hope this helps---ptaylor
