Question

Volunteers provided pieces of wood to frame the pit. Each piece of wood providedmeasures approximately1.8 meters. If the volunteers need 26.5 meters of wood, how many full boardsmust they supply?

Answer 1

Each piece of wood provided by the volunteers measures 1.8m.

26.5m of wood are needed by the volunteers.

Therefore, the number of woods, measuring 1.8m each, that must be supplied to meet the target of 26.5 metres of wood by the volunteers is:

`(26.5)/(1.8)=14.7\text{ woods}`

Hence, approximately 15 woods are needed.
