To find out how many sections George can cut from the board, we will divide the length of the board by the length of each section.
314 feet ÷ 34 feet = 9.235294117647059
Since George cannot have a fraction of a section, he can only cut 9 full sections from the board.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate again:
To find out how many sections George can cut from the board, we will divide the length of the board by the length of each section.
314 feet ÷ 34 feet = 9.235294117647059
However, since George can only have whole sections, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, George can cut 9 sections from the board.
