To find the number of pieces that can be cut from the 10 boards, we first need to determine the total length of wood available. Since each piece of wood for the porch must be 2.25 feet long, we can multiply the length of each piece by the number of pieces to find the total length.
The length of each piece of wood is 2.25 feet, and we want to find the total length of wood from 10 boards. So, we can solve this by multiplying 2.25 by 10.
2.25 feet/piece × 10 pieces = 22.5 feet
Therefore, Tyler's father can cut a total of 22.5 feet of wood from the 10 boards.
