Question

James has a board that is 3/4 foot long. He wants to cut the board into pieces that are 1/8 foot long. How many pieces can James cut from the board

Answer 1

6 pieces

3/4 = 6/8

6/8 = 6 pieces

Did I help? Thank me on my profile!

Answer 2

First you convert 3/4 to 6/8 because that is a common denominator. Then you take the top denominator and that is your answer. Your answer is 6. *Please note that this trick only works for common denominator equations otherwise you will get it wrong*
