Question

Solve. Remember to insert units when writing your answer. A carpenter needs to cut a board into fourths. If the board is 32 ft 8 in. long originally, how long will each cut be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$Each\ cut = 8ft\ 2in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = 32ft\ 8in$

$Cuts = 4$

Required

Determine the length of each cut

This is calculated by dividing the total length by the number of cuts.

So, we have:

$Each\ cut = \frac{Length}{Cuts}$

$Each\ cut = \frac{32ft\ 8in}{4}$

Split:

$Each\ cut = \frac{32ft}{4} + \frac{8in}{4}$

$Each\ cut = 8ft+ 2in$

$Each\ cut = 8ft\ 2in$
