A structure is made out of foam cubes that are each 1/4 foot tall. The height of the structure is 8 feet. How many cubes were used to build the structure?
Is this how we write 8➗1/4=8
8➗1/4 = 8 * 4 = 32
To find the number of cubes used to build the structure, we can divide the total height of the structure by the height of each individual cube.
In this case, the height of the structure is given as 8 feet, and the height of each foam cube is 1/4 foot.
To perform the division, we can convert the fraction 1/4 into a decimal by dividing 1 by 4:
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
Now, we can divide the total height (8 feet) by the height of each cube (0.25 feet):
8 ÷ 0.25 = 32
Therefore, 32 foam cubes were used to build the structure.
