Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Dimension of piece of wood = 3 ft

Dimension of piece of wood used for one statue =
`(1)/(6)` ft

To find:

Number of statues that can be made from all the wood ?

Solution:

To find the total number of statues that can be carved from the given piece of wood, we need to divide the dimensions of given piece of wood with the piece required to carve one statue.

Formula:

`(a)/((b)/(c)) = (a* c)/(b)`

Number of statues that can be made:

`(3)/((1)/(6))\\\Rightarrow (3* 6)/(1)\\\Rightarrow \bold{18}`

Therefore, 18 number of statues can be made.
