Each piece will be the same length.  We can convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction.  5 1/2 = 11 / 2  Divide 66 by this improper fraction.  66 / (11 / 2)  When we divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction. 66 * (2 / 11) = 2 * 6 = 12  12 pieces can be cut.

3 3/6 + 2 2/6

this gets you 5 5/6.

Take this away from 8:

8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.
