A carpenter is tasked with making table legs. Each leg needs 4 3⁄8 feet of raw lumber to create. The carpenter has a length of r
aw lumber that is 28 feet long. How many full table legs will the carpenter be able to create using this piece of lumber? Hint: Change 4 3⁄8 to an improper fraction before calculating, and then round down to the nearest whole number. A. 8 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7
It is C because each leg comes out to 52.5 inches long and each piece of lumber is 336 inches long, you could get 6.4 legs out of each length of lumber but since you don't want 4/10's of a leg you round it down to 6. Hope it helps
