Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one of the boards = 8 feet

Converting to inches

1\ \text{foot}=12\ \text{inches}\\\Rightarrow 8\ \text{feet}=8\times 12=96\ \text{inches}

One cut is 16 inches

So, we divide the length of the board by 16

\dfrac{96}{16}=6

So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.

The other board is also 8 feet long.

So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.

Hence, a total of 6+6=12 pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.
