Question

An artist uses a 3 foot piece of wood to carve statues. She uses 1/6 foot pieces of wood for each statue. How many statues can be made from all the wood? A- 1\18 B- 3/6 C- 2 D- 18

Answer 1

Answer:

D- 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply need to divide the amount of wood she has by amount of wood that she needs for each statue.

She uses a 3 foot piece of wood and she needs 1/6 foot of wood for each statue.

Therefore, the number of statues she can make is:

$\frac{3}{\frac{1}{6} } = 3 * 6 = 18$

She can make 18 statues.
