Question

A strip of wood 66 inches long is to be cut into 51/2-inch pieces. How many pieces can be cut?

Answer 1

@iGreen can u help me after him

Answer 2

Just divide.

66 / 51/2 = 2.588

So you can only cut 2 pieces.

Answer 3

@tracy20 verify the size of each piece
the process would be the same as above
divide the length available by the size of each piece to get the number of pieces.

I read the size of each piece as 5 and 1/2 inch
