Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

24

Explanation:

Assuming that making the cut does not change the total length of the board, each foot can be divided into two pieces that are 1/2 foot. The number of pieces will be ...

(12 ft)/(1/2 ft/piece) = (12×2) pieces = 24 pieces

Ross can make 24 pieces that are 1/2 ft long from her board.
