Answer:

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box

Step-by-step explanation:

Total piece of wood bought = 7/8 foot

Piece of wood used for each small box = 3/16 foot

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box

= 7/8 foot ÷ 3/16 foot

= 7/8 × 16/3

= 7×16 / 8×3

= 112 / 24

= 4 16/24

= 4 2/3 small boxes

The equation is:

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box
