Samuel needs 233 feet of wood to build a fence. The wood comes in lengths of 11 feet.

Part A how many total pieces of wood will Samuel need . Explain your answer.

Part B Theresa needs twice as many feet of wood as Samuel .How many pieces of wood does Theresa need ? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:Part A: To find the total number of pieces of wood Samuel needs, we divide the total feet of wood he needs (233) by the length of each piece of wood (11).

233 ÷ 11 = 21.1818...

Since we can't have a fraction of a piece, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Samuel will need 22 pieces of wood.

Part B: Since Theresa needs twice as many feet of wood as Samuel, we multiply the total feet of wood Samuel needs (233) by 2.

233 x 2 = 466

Next, we divide the total feet of wood Theresa needs (466) by the length of each piece of wood (11) to find the number of pieces she needs.

466 ÷ 11 = 42.3636...

Again, we round up to the nearest whole number, which means Theresa will need 43 pieces of wood.
