Question

A board that measures 34 3 4 feet long is cut into 6 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?

Answer 1

Answer 1.5

Divide 9/6= "Answer"

Where did the 9 come from?

There are 12in in a foot so 3/4 = 9in

Answer 2

`5(19)/(24)` feet

Explanation:

The length of the board is =
`34(3)/(4)` feet

=
`(139)/(4)` feet

We have to cut into 6 equal pieces.

The length of each piece will be =
`((139)/(4) )/(6)`

=
`(139)/(24)`

=
`5(19)/(24)` feet

= 5.79 feet

The length of each piece would be
`5(19)/(24)` feet
