Question

a piece of lumber is 2 1/4 ft long is cut into 3 equal pieces .How long will each piece of cut wood be ?

Answer 1

Answer: Each piece would be 3/4 feet long

Explanation:

If the piece of lumber is 2 1/4 ft long, and it is cut into 3 pieces then divide

2 1/4 by 3 to find out how long each piece of cut wood would be.

2 1/4 is the same as 9/4

`(9)/(4) / (3)/(1)` = 9/12 which also simplifies to 3/4
