Misaki cut some wood for a bookcase she is building.She needs to find how many 1/3 ft boards she can make from a 5 ft board.Explain how to model with fraction bars to solve the problem

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Size of board = 5 feets

Size of board to be made = 1/3 feets

Number of 1/3 feets board to be made from 5 feets board :

Total size of board / size of board to be made

5 feets ÷ 1/3 feets

5 feets * 3 / 1 feets

= 15

Hence, number of 1/3 feets board that can be made from 5 feets board = 15
