In any case divide the wood length by the shelf length

To determine the number of complete shelves Tara can make, we need to divide the length of the wood by the length of each shelf.
Step 1: Convert the lengths to the same unit.
The length of the wood is given in feet, and the length of each shelf is also given in feet, so we don't need to make any conversions.
Step 2: Divide the length of the wood by the length of each shelf.
To find the number of complete shelves, we divide the length of the wood by the length of each shelf.
Wood length: 10.375 feet
Shelf length: 3.875 feet
Number of complete shelves = Wood length / Shelf length
= 10.375 feet / 3.875 feet
≈ 2.67 shelves
Since we cannot have a fraction of a shelf, we round down to the nearest whole number. Thus, Tara can make 2 complete shelves with the given pieces of wood.
