Question

Mr. Tola has a piece of wood that is 8 1/4 feet in length. He wants to cut it into pieces that are each 3/4 foot in length. How many 3/4 foot pieces of wood can mr. Tola make?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make this happen, you need to divide the total length of the wood by the length that he needs, so it would be 8 1/4 feet by 3/4 of foot:

$\frac{8\frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{4} } =\frac{\frac{33}{4} }{\frac{3}{4} }\\\frac{4(33)}{(3)(4)} \\\frac{132}{12}=11$

So now we know that he will get 11 piecesof 3/4 of foot out of the 8 1/4 feet long piece of wood.

Answer 2

Answer:

11 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must divide 8 1/4 by 3/4

8 1/4 = 33/4

Dividing:

33/4 / 3/4

= 33/4 * 4/3

= 33/3

= 11.
