Andre is cutting fence boards from a large piece of wood 10 1/4 yards long. Each board needs to be 4/5 : yard. How many boards can he cut from this piece of wood? (1 point)
To find out how many boards Andre can cut from a 10 1/4 yard piece of wood, we need to divide the length of the wood by the length of each board.
10 1/4 yards = 10 + 1/4 = 10.25 yards
Each board is 4/5 of a yard, so we need to divide the total length of the wood by the length of each board:
10.25 yards / (4/5) yard/board = 10.25 yards * 5/4 = 51.25 boards
Therefore, Andre can cut 51.25 boards from this piece of wood.
