Answer:
36 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.
Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)
I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.
Therefore he needs 36 boards
