Given :

Jessica needs 233 feet of wood to build a fence the word comes in length of 11 feet.
N= 21* 2

To Find :

How many pieces of wood should Jessica by Samuel needs twice as many feet as Jessica how many pieces of wood does Samuel need.

Solution :

Total number of pieces of wood Jessica needs is :


n = (233)/(11)\\\\n = 21.18

Since number of pieces cannot be negative.

So, n = 21

It is given that Samuel needs twice as many feet as Jessica need.

So,

N = 21 × 2 = 42

Therefore, Samuel needs 42 pieces of wood.
