Multiplication and distributive property are your friends for this problen
Before doing anything, we must convert the unit of feet into the unit of inches so that all the units match. You cannot multiply apples by oranges!
Since 1 ft = 12 inches, then a 17 foot piece of lumber is 204 inches long.
12(17) = 204
Now, we can write an equation.
Let x = the amount of logs that can be cut from the lumber
204 = x(18)
204/18 = x(18)/18
x = 11.333333.....
You do not want .333333.... of a log, so you can cut 11 logs max.
You will then have that .333333333.... inches of lumber left.
