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.

PLZ HEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Elena L [17]
Y= ∛(-x) - 3
for x = -8 → y = ∛-(-8) - 3 ↔ y = 2-3 ↔y = -1
for x= 8 → y= ∛(-8) - 3 ↔ y = -2 -3 ↔ y = -5
Then  - 5≤ y≤ - 1
hence the range of y is {y|-5≤y≤-1}
