Question

Luci cuts a board that is 3/4 yard long into pieces that are 3/8. how many pieces does she cut

Answer 1

Luci cuts a board that is 3/4 yard long into pieces that are 3/8. The pieces she cut can be solve by dividing the board by length of the new board. The length of the ¾ yards long divided by the desired length of 3/8 yards which is equal to 2 pieces.

Answer 2

Answer:

The board will be cut into 2.66 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Based on the information given we should first start by turning yards into inches and then calculating the size of the board by multiplying 3/4 by the amount of inches in a yard. Like so,

1 Yard   ⇔   36 inches

$36 * \frac{3}{4} = 27 in$

Now we can see that the board is 27 inches long. Now we need to find out how long a 3/8 piece is.

$27 * \frac{3}{8} = 10.125in$

Finally, we divide the length of the board by 10.125 inches to see how many pieces the board will be cut into.

$27 / 10.125 = 2.66$

The board will be cut into 2.66 pieces.
