How many-meter pieces of wood does Diego have to carve alebrijes? A. 7 pieces B. 8 pieces C. 13 pieces D. 14 pieces 10​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total length of the wood is 23/ meter long, and Diego cuts it into 1-meter pieces. Therefore, the number of pieces of wood that Diego has is:

23/ ÷ 1 = 23 pieces

Since Diego makes four alebrijes, he will need four pieces of wood for each alebrije. Therefore, the total number of pieces of wood he needs is:

4 × 4 = 16 pieces

Since Diego has 23 pieces of wood and he needs only 16 pieces to make the alebrijes, he has enough wood to make them. The answer is not among the options provided.
