1. A board is 10.17 feet long. Sandy needs

Answer 1

Answer:

3.39 ft, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a board is 10.17 feet long. Sandy needs  

to cut the board into 3 equal sections.

Let x be the length of each piece then we have

$3x=10.17\\x = 3.39$ ft

Each section would be 3.39 feet long.

-----------------------

When each is 5.085 feet let y be the number of pieces

Then

$5.085 y = 10.17\\y =2$

Two sections would be needed
