Answer: 6 pieces

Explanation:

He is cutting the board into pieces each measuring
(1)/(8) of a foot. The original board is
(3)/(4) of a foot long. This means he is dividing, so we will solve the problem by doing the following.


\displaystyle (3)/(4)/(1)/(8)


\displaystyle(3)/(4)*(8)/(1)


\displaystyle(3*8)/(4*1)


\displaystyle(24)/(4)


\displaystyle6

He can cut the board into 6 pieces, each measuring
(1)/(8) of a foot.
