1. Corey needs 24 boards that are 47.5 inches How many feet of board should he buy and then explain.

2. If you can only buy 8 foot boards, how many should he buy? and then explain.

this one is easy so you need to:To answer part A, we multiply 24 boards by 47.5 inches to get 1,140 inches, which is 95 feet of boards. To answer part B, we know that an 8-foot board is 96 inches, so we can divide 1,140 by 96 to get 11.875 boards that Corey must buy, but since he can only buy 8-foot boards, he will have to buy a total of 12

To answer the first question:

To convert inches to feet, you need to divide the number of inches by 12, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

In this case, Corey needs 24 boards with a length of 47.5 inches each. So we can calculate the total length in inches by multiplying the number of boards (24) by the length of each board (47.5 inches).

Total length in inches = 24 boards x 47.5 inches/board = 1140 inches

Now, let's convert the total length from inches to feet. Divide the total length in inches by 12:

Total length in feet = 1140 inches / 12 = 95 feet

Therefore, Corey should buy 95 feet of board.

To answer the second question:

If Corey can only buy 8-foot boards, we need to calculate how many boards he should buy to reach a total length of 95 feet.

Since each board is 8 feet long, we can find the number of boards required by dividing the total length (95 feet) by the length of each board (8 feet):

Number of boards = 95 feet / 8 feet/board = 11.875 boards

Since Corey cannot buy a fraction of a board, he should round up to the next whole number. Thus, Corey should buy 12 boards.

1.

(24 * 47.5) / 12 = ?

2.
8 * 12 = 96 inches

96 / 47.5 = 2.02

He can get two 47.50-inch lengths out of each 8-foot board. So he needs 12-foot boards.

hello can someone please explain and help me with this problem
