A strip of wood 66 inches long is to be cut into 51 /2 -inch pieces. How many pieces can be cut? A. 12 B. 14 C. 30 D. 33

1 answer:

8 0

<span>To calculate how many pieces that can be cut, we calculate the number of 5 1/2 -inch pieces in 66 inches. To calculate this, we divide 66 by 5 1/2 (i.e. 66 divided by 11/2). 66 divided by 11/2 implies 66 multiplied by 2/11 = 132 / 11 = 12. Therefore, 12 pieces of 5 1/2 - inches pieces can be cut out.</span>

What is the greatest possible error when measuring to the nearest quarter of an inch? 1/8 in. 1/4 in. 1/2 in.

Iteru [2.4K]

The greatest possible error is one half of the measuring unit you're using.

Multiply the unit you use by 1/2:

$\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$

The greatest possible error will be 1/8 inch.
