Answer:

7/6 feet

Explanation:

The board is 3 and 1/2 feet long, so it is 3+(1/2) feet long.

3 + 1/2 = ?

3/1 + 1/2 = ?

6/2 + 1/2 = ?

(6 + 1)/2 = ?

= 7/2

3 + 1/2 = 7/2

In other words, the board is 7/2 feet long.

Now we have to divide by 3 since Andrea is cutting the board in three pieces.

So:

(7/2)/3 or (7/2) ÷ 3 or
((7)/(2))/(3) or (7/2) × (1/3)

= 7/(2×3)

= 7/6

So we found that each piece (after cutting the board into three pieces) is 7/6 feet long.
