Answer 1

Theresa needs 44 pieces of woods.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of wood required to fence = 233 feet

Length of the wood = 11 feet

Number of pieces of wood Samuel needs = 22 pieces.

We need to find number of pieces of wood required by Theresa.

Solution:

Now Given:

Theresa has twice as many feet of wood as Samuel.

So we can say that;

Number of pieces of wood Theresa need is equal to 2 multiplied by Number of pieces of wood Samuel has.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of pieces of wood Theresa need =
`2*22=44\ pieces.`

Hence Theresa needs 44 pieces of woods.
