Answer:

4 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of lumber = 9 feet

How many 2 1/4 foot pieces can you cut from this piece of lumber

To find the number of 2 1/4 foot pieces of lumber in a 9 feet of lumber, we will divide the total length of lumber by the length of each piece of lumber

9 ÷ 2 1/4

= 9 ÷ 9/4

= 9 × 4/9

= 36/9

= 4 pieces of lumber

Therefore, 4 pieces of 2 1/4 foot of lumber can be gotten from 9 feet of lumber
