The solution is 7/3. Sorry for no work, I can't think of how to explain it.
This sequence starts with an initial set; let’s call it s1. This set contains 20 cans, and every set following would have two less cans than the last set. So,
s1=20
s2=s1-2=18
s3=s2-2=16
•
•
•
s9=s8-2=4
How many cans in the display represents the value of each set added together, so we can denote this as
s1+s2+s3+...+s9
and replacing with values:
20+18+16+...+4 = 108
The number of cans in the display equals 108.
(The set notation seems weird, but by practicing this application now, the Calculus version will seem easier.)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: three pieces.
The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.
1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
