Answer:

13 slices

1/4 inches is left over

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a 10 inch loaf of bread is cut into 3/4 inch thick slices

Let the number of slices cut be x

This x should be an integer

Given condition is [tex]\frac{3x}{4} < 10[/tex]

x < 13.33

since x is an integer x = 13

Therefore 13 slices 3/4 inches slices can be cut

Inches of bread left over = 10 - Inches of bread cut = 10 - [tex]13\times \frac{3}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
