Question

marguerite is building a box from strips of wood.she needs 78 pieces of wood that are each 29 centimeters long .the wood comes in boards that are 6 meters ong .how many boards will she need explain

Answer 1

To determine how many boards she will need, you will determine the number of centimeters necessary to build a box. You will then convert the number centimeters to meters and divide by 6 m.

78 x 29 cm = 2262 cm
2262/100 = 22.62 m

22.62 m/6 m = 3.77

Marguerite will need 4 boards. You were always round the answer up to the next number if you need whole boards.
