So how many of 5/8 wood pieces out of a 4 5/8 board
let's make the board size into a improper fraction so 8*4+5 = 37
so the board is 37/8
how many times can 5/8 go into 37/8
37/8 / 5/8
"Keep, change, flip" (for division of fractions)
keep the first number, change the sign into multiplication, and flip the last fraction
37/8 * 8/5
That is 7 2/5
Only 7 full 5/8 feet pieces of wood can be cut from a board that is 4 5/8 feet long (remainder 2/5)
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
odd numbers are 1,3,5,7
number of odd cards=4
Total number of cards=8
Number of cards less than 4=3 {1,2,3}
Because like terms you add or subtract together to make it easier to do the problem. just like you do with whole numbers. you add an subtract to make the answer simpler.
