Answer:
Monica has 3 more pieces of gold than silver after she cut all her wire
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of gold wire Monica has= 7.68 meters
Length of each piece Monica wants to cut the wire into = 0.96 meters
Total number of pieces she can cut = [tex]\frac{Length\ of\ wire}{length\ of \ piece}= \frac{7.68}{0.96}[/tex] = 8 pieces of gold wire
Total length of gold wire Monica has = 7.45 meters
Length of each piece Monica wants to cut the wire into = 1.49 meters
Total number of pieces she can cut = [tex]\frac{Length\ of\ wire}{length\ of \ piece}= \frac{7.45}{1.49} [/tex] =5 pieces silver wire
Gold wire pieces= 8
Silver wire pieces= 5
Difference in the number of pieces = [tex]8-5=3[/tex]
Monica has 3 more pieces of gold than silver after she cut all her wire
