Robert is going to cut seedling support stakes from a piece of wood measuring 175 centimeters. Each support stake will be 12 centimeters in length. How many support stakes can Robert cut?
175 centimeters and 12 centimeters
To find out how many support stakes Robert can cut from a piece of wood measuring 175 centimeters, divide the total length of the wood by the length of each support stake.
175 cm ÷ 12 cm = 14.58
Since we cannot have a fraction of a support stake, Robert can cut a maximum of 14 support stakes from the piece of wood.
To find out how many support stakes Robert can cut, we need to divide the total length of the piece of wood by the length of each support stake.
First, let's convert the measurements into the same unit. In this case, we are given that the length of the wood is 175 centimeters and each support stake is 12 centimeters. So, we can proceed with the calculation.
The formula to calculate the number of support stakes is: Number of stakes = Total length of wood / Length of each stake
Number of stakes = 175 centimeters / 12 centimeters
Using division, we find that 175 divided by 12 equals 14.58 (rounded to two decimal places).
Since we cannot have a fraction of a support stake, we need to round down to a whole number. Therefore, Robert can cut 14 support stakes out of the piece of wood measuring 175 centimeters.
