Question

Wilson needs 9 pieces of wood that are each 1/3 ft long. He has one board that is 3 1/3 ft long. Will he be able to make all the pieces he needs from that one board?

Answer 1

Yes, he will.

Explanation:

Since he needs 9 pieces of 1/3 ft, yo would start by dividing 9 by 3 (9 x 1/3). This would give you 3, meaning that you would need 3 feet of would in all, and since he is given 3 and 1/3 feet, he has enough.

Hope this helps!
