Answer:

7 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board = 1 1/6 feet long.

The length of the pieces of wood = 1/6 foot

Therefore, the number of pieces of wood that can be cut will be:


\begin{gathered} 1(1)/(6)/(1)/(6) \\ =(7)/(6)/(1)/(6) \\ =(7)/(6)*(6)/(1) \\ =7\text{ pieces} \end{gathered}

Note: You can always determine the number of pieces obtainable by dividing the length of the whole by the length of the pieces.
