8

Explanation:

6ft board/0.75=8

Answer 2

Kristen wants to cut ladder. 8 pieces can be cut out of a 6 foot board in the form of
`(3)/(4)` foot rungs.

Solution:

The length of the board is 6 feet.

Kristen wants to cut
`(3)/(4)` foot ladder rungs from the 6 foot board.

`(3)/(4)` is in the fraction form. To make the calculation easier lets convert it to the decimal form.

Therefore,
`(3)/(4)` =0.75

Now each small rung is 0.75 foot long.

To find out how many pieces of rung can be cut out of a 6 foot board we need to divide 6 by 0.75. This will give us exactly how many pieces can be cut out.

Therefore;

6 ÷ 0.75 = 8

Hence, 8 pieces can be cut out of a 6 foot board in the form of
`(3)/(4)` foot rungs.
