Question

An artist uses a 3 foot piece of wood to carve statues. She uses 1/6 foot pieces of wood for each statue. How many statues can be made from all the wood? A- 1\18 B- 3/6 C- 2 D- 18

Answer 1

D- 18

Explanation:

We simply need to divide the amount of wood she has by amount of wood that she needs for each statue.

She uses a 3 foot piece of wood and she needs 1/6 foot of wood for each statue.

Therefore, the number of statues she can make is:

`(3)/((1)/(6) ) = 3 * 6 = 18`

She can make 18 statues.
