Answer:
6 divided by 1/4 = n
Step-by-step explanation:
It might help to work backwards, and with a simplified problem.
How many 1/4-foot boards go into a 1-foot board? 4 boards
How many 1-foot boards go into a 6-foot board? 6 boards
So that's 4 boards/foot times 6 feet = 24 boards.
Looking at the answer choices:
B is wrong because dividing a 6-foot board into 4-foot boards isn't even going to work out perfectly
C is wrong because dividing a quarter-foot board into 6 foot pieces isn't giving you any board in the first place
D is wrong because we aren't asking for 1/6-foot board anywhere
So the answer is A - 6 divided by 1/4 = n
