The problem asks how many pieces of length \( \frac{3}{4} \) feet can be cut from a pipe that is 24 feet long.

To solve this, we divide the total length of the pipe by the length of each piece:

\[
\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{24}{\frac{3}{4}} = 24 \times \frac{4}{3}
\]

Now, calculate:

\[
24 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{24 \times 4}{3} = \frac{96}{3} = 32
\]

So, 32 pieces can be cut from the pipe.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How do you divide fractions in general?
2. What if the pipe was 30 feet long instead of 24 feet?
3. How would the result change if the pieces were each \( \frac{1}{2} \) foot long?
4. Can you express the solution using decimals instead of fractions?
5. How can we verify the answer by multiplying?

**Tip**: When dividing by a fraction, remember to multiply by its reciprocal.

A pipe is 24 feet long. It needs to be cut into pieces that are each 3/4 feet long. How many pieces can be made from the pipe?
