Question

chad poured a sidewalk that is 42 ft long. He is going to start at the beginning and make a cut every 20 inches. How many cuts will Chad make?

Answer 1

Twice because you would divide the 2 numbers together, and you get a small decimal. But since you can't cut a decimal then It would be 2, so 2 cuts. :)

Answer 2

So The First Step in tackling this problem is first do
`42x12` , The reason why we do this is because we are converting feet to inches. After that we will get 504 inches. The next and final step is to do 504÷20. Then we will get 25.2 so the final answer is that Chad will make 25 cuts.
