Question

Joanna has a board that is 6 feet long. She cuts it unit pieces that are each 1/4 foot long. Which equation represents the number of pieces it cut?

Answer 1

6/(1/4)
or 6/.25

You find the whole length divided by the length of each piece.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$n=(\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Joanna has a board with a length of 6 feet.

She cuts it in unit pieces that length of every piece is $\frac{1}{4}$ foot.

Let n be the number of pieces cut by Joanna.

Therefore length of n boards of length $\frac{1}{4}$ each = $n.(\frac{1}{4})=6$

Now number of pieces $n=(\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}})$  will be the equation that represents the number of pieces of the board.
