Julian wants to put a border around two sides of his rectangular shaped garden. He has a 12-foot piece of lumber that will be cut into 1/3-foot pieces. How many 1/3-foot pieces can Julian cut from the lumber?

well my dude, divide 12 into 3 numbers ( feel free to use calculator) then you get 4 so he can make 4 lumber pieces. good luck

Thanks

there are 3/3 in a whole foot

so 12 ft * 3 = 36 pieces

To find out how many 1/3-foot pieces Julian can cut from the 12-foot piece of lumber, we need to divide the length of the lumber by the length of each piece.

Given that Julian has a 12-foot piece of lumber and each piece will be cut into 1/3 feet, we divide 12 by 1/3:

12 ÷ (1/3) = 12 × (3/1) = 12 × 3 = 36

Julian can cut 36 pieces of 1/3-foot from the 12-foot lumber.
