How many 3/8 foot pieces of wood can you cut from a board that is 1 7/8 feet long?

(15/8) / (3/8)

(15/8) * (8/3) = 120 / 24 = 5

How much is it for 5 pc of wood and it is 3.25' feet long

To find out how many 3/8 foot pieces of wood can be cut from a 1 7/8 foot board, you need to divide the length of the board by the length of each piece.

First, convert both the length of the board and the length of each piece to the same unit of measurement. In this case, convert both measurements to eighths of a foot because 3/8 is in eighths.

The length of the board, 1 7/8 feet, can be converted to 15/8 feet since 1 foot is equal to 8/8.

Next, divide the length of the board by the length of each piece:
(15/8 feet) ÷ (3/8 feet)

To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(15/8 feet) × (8/3 feet)

Cancel out the common factors of 8 in the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction:

(15/1) × (1/3)

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(15 × 1) / (1 × 3) = 15/3

Finally, simplify the fraction:

15/3 = 5

Therefore, you can cut 5 pieces of 3/8 foot wood from a board that is 1 7/8 feet long.
