Answer:
12 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the board = 48 in
It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length
This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces
Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.
Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in
= (3*3)/16
= 9/16 in
Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste
= 48 - 9/16
= (768-9)/16
= 759/16 in
How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?
Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4
= 759/16 ÷ 4
= 759/16 × 1/4
= 759/64
= 11.859375
