Question

A board is 2 feet long. How many 1/4 foot long pieces can be cuter on the board?

Answer 1

All you have to do is divide 2 by 1/4 to get how many pieces of board you can get.
2 divided by 1/4 is the same thing as 2 times 4,
so
2*4 = 8

8 pieces

Answer 2

To solve this, you would divide 2 feet by 1/4 foot.
2/(1/4) is the same as 2*4 which equals 8
You can cut 8 1/4-foot pieces from a 2-foot board
