Question

Luke’s that seven pieces of wood on top of one another if each piece was 4/8 of a foot tall how tall was his pile

Answer 1

Answer:

6 1/2 feet or 78 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply 4/8 by 7/1

First you multiply the nominators: 4 × 7 = 28

Then you multiply the denominators: 8 × 1 = 8

So the fraction would be 28/8 and it simplifies to 7/2

You can turn it into an improper fraction by seeing how many times 2 will go into seven evenly, which would be 6 times with 1 half left over

Therefore it would be 6 1/2 feet or 78 inches tall
