Suppose you are making picture frames in the shape of equilateral triangles with side lengths of 7 inches. Considering that very little waste occurs from cutting, how many triangular frames can be cut from a 100-inch piece of wood?

Question

I think the answer would be 4, because there are 3 sides to each triangular frame with sides equaling 7 inches. So 3 sides*7inches=21 inches, and 100/21=4.76. But since you need a whole number it would probably be 4.
