Question

Help me please.. where does he cut from the board?? i need an answer. please i beg you.

Answer 1

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.
