As per the problem

Kendrell was cutting 12 feet piece of wood into 1/4 feet pieces .

We are supposed to find How many pieces did he cut?

As each piece is of 1/4 feet , and in 1 feet we have 4 pieces, each of
(1)/(4) feet because


1 feet=(1)/(4)feet+ (1)/(4)feet+ (1)/(4)feet+ (1)/(4)feet

Hence in 12 feet, there will be
12*4=48 pieces each of
(1)/(4) feet long.

Hence he cut 48 pieces.
