Question

Yancy has a board 25 feet long. He wants to cut the board into 4 1/2 foot lengths. Into how many 4 1/2 foot lengths can he cut it ?

Answer 1

So first we would convert 4 1/2 foot lengths into a decimal.

4.5 feet

Now we divide 25 by 4.5

25 ÷ 4.5 = 5.5

So Yancy can cut the board into five 4 1/2 foot lengths because the question says how many can he cut.
