Question

Cassie has a wood board that is 3/4 foot long. She wants to cut the board into pieces that are 1/8 foot long. Which expression will help Cassie find how many pieces she can cut?

Answer 1

3/4 ÷ 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many pieces she can cut, she needs to divide the wood board of 3/4 foot long into the length of the pieces 1/8 foot.

Therefore, the expression is:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

So, solving the expression, we get:

`(3)/(4)/(1)/(8)=(3\cdot8)/(4\cdot1)=(24)/(4)=6`

Then, she can cut 6 pieces that are 1/8 foot long
