Mr yamoto has a piece of plywood that is 15 and a half feet long and 12 and 3/4 ft wide he needs to cut the wood into 12 pieces for the students and his carbonary class mystery metal cuts a link into four equal pieces in the width into three equal pieces what are the dimensions of each piece in inches Express the answers in simplest form
To find the dimensions of each piece, we need to divide the plywood into 12 equal pieces.
First, let's convert the measurements to inches for easier calculation.
15.5 feet = 15.5 * 12 = 186 inches
12.75 feet = 12.75 * 12 = 153 inches
Next, we need to divide the width (153 inches) into 12 equal pieces.
153/12 = 12.75 inches
Therefore, each piece will be 12.75 inches wide.
To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the length (186 inches) into 12 equal parts.
186/12 = 15.5 inches
Therefore, each piece will be 15.5 inches long.
In conclusion, the dimensions of each piece will be 12.75 inches wide and 15.5 inches long.
