Question

Cassidy is building a birdhouse. She needs 8 pieces of wood, each measuring foot in length. She is going to cut the 8 pieces from a piece of wood that measures 7.5 feet in length.

Answer 1

Okay, so in case you are asking for the length of each small piece of wood, that would be the total length of piece of the 'mother'-wood, divided by the no. of pieces. ;)
