Question

How many boards, 2 feet 8 inches long, can be cut from a board 8 feet long if there is no waste?

Answer 1

3 boards

Explanation:

Find out how many times 2ft 8in goes into 8ft.

We know that there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so I'm going to convert everything to feet.

Now we have to divide 32 from 96.

96/32 = 3

So, 3 boards can be cut equally.
