Jessie has a piece of wood that is 8 feet long he needs to cut pieces that are 7/8 ofa foot long. How many pieces will he be able to make

Respuesta :

Answer:

Jessie will be able to make 9 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by taking the total length and dividing it by the length of each piece needed. This will give you how many you can make.

8ft ÷ 7/8ft = 9.14 pieces

Since .14 pieces is not a full section, we disregard that and say that we can make 9 full pieces.
