Question

Ken is cutting wooden pieces that each measure 2/3 ft long. If ken is cutting from a piece that measures 9 1/3 ft, how many pieces can ken cut

Answer 1

14 pieces

Explanation:

Given that the total length available is 9 1/3 ft long and the pieces being cut is 2/3 ft long, the number of pieces that may be cut may be computed by dividing the total length by the length of each piece

= 9 1/3 / 2/3

= 28/3 * 3/2

= 14 pieces
