    Step-by-step answer:

    1/8" long piece is not very much. However, mathematically,

    we divide the total length by the length of each piece to get the number of pieces. So

    4 2/5 / (1/8)

    = (5*4+2) / 5 * (8/1) [convert to fraction, and division to multiplication

    = (22/5) * (8/1)

    = 176/5

    = 35 pieces with 1/5" left over.
