Juan is cutting lumber into one half foot lenths.How many one half foot lengths will he get from an 8 foot long piece of lumber?
8 / (1/2)
8 * 2 = 16 pieces
To find out how many half-foot lengths Juan will get from an 8-foot long piece of lumber, you need to divide the length of the lumber by the length of each half-foot length.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Convert the length of each half-foot length into feet: 1/2 foot = 0.5 feet.
2. Divide the total length of the lumber by the length of each half-foot: 8 feet ÷ 0.5 feet = 16.
Therefore, Juan will get 16 half-foot lengths from an 8-foot long piece of lumber.
