Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

Why is the percent not the same as the percent you find from he percent of money
nexus9112 [7]
Percentage is a way to express a relation between two numbers as a fraction of 100<span>. In other words, the percentage tells us how one number relates to another. If we know that number A is </span>25%<span> of number </span>B<span>, we know that </span>A<span> to </span>B<span> is like </span>25<span> is to </span>100<span> (one more transformation: </span>A<span> is four times smaller than </span>B<span>). This is Percentage Calculator's lesson on what is percentage. 
  But in money a percent is how many cents past the dollar the number is.</span>

The first side of a triangle is four inches longer than twice the
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

1st Side: 27 inches, 2nd Side: 23/2, 3rd Side: 67/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your problem step by step:

First side should be: 2x+4

Because 2 times the second side =, and 4 longer than that.

Second side should be: x

This is the base of the equation, since all the numbers depend on "x"

Third side should be: (3x+4)-5

Because x + x+4, and the third side is 5 shorter..

We add all and we get 72.

Solve for x.

x=23/2

Now, we can solve for other sides, by doubling it and adding 4.

This is answer is correct, I tried it. :)
