Doors for the small cabinets are 10.5 inches long. Doors for the large cabinets are 2.5 times as long as the doors for the small cabinets. How many large doors can be cut from a board that is 11 feet long?
(11*12)/(10.5*2.5) = 5.02
so, 5 doors
To determine how many large doors can be cut from a board that is 11 feet long, we need to first calculate the length of the large doors.
Given that the doors for small cabinets are 10.5 inches long, we can find the length of the doors for large cabinets by multiplying it by 2.5.
Length of large doors = 10.5 inches x 2.5 = 26.25 inches
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we need to convert the length from inches to feet by dividing it by 12.
Length of large doors in feet = 26.25 inches / 12 = 2.1875 feet
Now that we have the length of the large doors in feet, we can determine how many can be cut from a board that is 11 feet long.
Number of large doors = Length of board / Length of each large door
Number of large doors = 11 / 2.1875 = 5.03 doors
Since we can't have a fraction of a door, we need to round down the number of doors. Therefore, 5 large doors can be cut from a board that is 11 feet long.
Doors for the small cabinets are 14.5 inches long. Doors for the large cabinets are 3.5 times as long as the doors for the small cabinets. How many large doors can be cut from a board that is 11 feet long?
