How many pieces of wood does Theresa need?
Samuel needs
pieces of wood. Theresa needs
pieces of wood.

Answer 1

Length of wood Samuel needs to build a fence = 346 feet

Length of each piece of wood = 15 feet

Number of wood pieces he will have with him :-

`= (346)/(15)`

Samuel will need 23 pieces of wood .

Length of wood Theresa needs to build a fence :-

= 346 × 2

= 692 feet wood

Number of wood pieces Theresa will need :-

`=(692)/(15)`

`= 42 \: pieces \: of \: wood`

Therefore , Samuel needs 23 pieces of wood and Theresa needs 42 pieces of wood .
