How any 60 pieces can be cut from a 40 foot lenth
To find out how many 60-inch pieces can be cut from a 40-foot length, we first need to convert the measurements to the same unit of measurement.
- Since we have a 40-foot length, we need to convert it to inches because the given length of the piece is in inches.
- There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert 40 feet to inches, multiply 40 by 12:
40 feet * 12 inches/foot = 480 inches.
Now that we have both measurements in inches, we can determine how many 60-inch pieces can be cut.
- Divide the total length in inches by the length of each piece in inches:
480 inches / 60 inches/piece = 8 pieces.
Therefore, you can cut 8 pieces that are 60 inches long from a 40-foot length.
