George has a wooden board that is 3_1/4 feet long. He needs to cut it into sections that are 3/4 foot long. How many sections can he cut from this board?(1 point)
To find the number of sections George can cut from the board, we need to divide the total length of the board by the length of each section.
The total length of the board is 3 1/4 feet which can be converted to an improper fraction as 13/4 feet.
So, to find the number of sections, we divide 13/4 (total length) by 3/4 (length of each section).
13/4 รท 3/4 = 13/4 * 4/3
The 4s cancel out, leaving us with:
13/4 * 1/3 = 13/12
Therefore, George can cut 13/12 sections from this board.
