Required
Find x
The attached shape is a rectangle.
So:
Divide both sides by 4
Lets convert our quantities to decimal form first:
3/5 of a foot is 0.6 foot. Since he need five equal pieces of that length, he needs
feet to build his project.
<span>2 1/4 feet is 2.25 feet. So, he now has two pieces one of 2.25 feet long and another one of </span>
feet long.
Next, lets find if he has enough wood for his project:
From the 2.25 feet piece he can cut
; since he needs even pieces, we can discard the decimal part of the result; therefore, he can cut 3 pieces.
From the 1.75 piece he can cut
; similarly, since he needs even pieces, we can discard the decimal part of the result; therefore, he can cut 2 pieces.
From both pieces, he can cut 2+3=5 pieces.
We can conclude that he has enough wood left to finish his project.
