Answer:

7 Cuts

Explanation:

This is because if you do 48 inches / 6 inches = 8 sections Since each cut will create two sections, you need to make 7 cuts (one fewer than the number of sections) to get 8 equal portions.

Answer: Cut 3 inch per person

Explanation:

there is a 4 foot sub you take the quadrilatiral and divide it by 10 and you get 3 inches per person remember to multiply the reciprocal by 12 as there are 12 inches in a foot and you have 4 foot so the product of that reciprocal will be equal to 4 divided by your sum from adding the recriptorcal into the quadrilateral remember a quadrilateral not a duolateral or a triolatiral as there is 4 feet in the sub. >:)
