Answer 1

Something is missing from the question.

>> be less than ? feet long.

Less than how many feet long?

Answer 2

(1) Length can't measured by negative numbers.
(2) The length of the pieces of wood must be LESS than 15 3/4. So if it's less than, what will be the inequality symbol?

@MrHirohito Is that a "yes" or "no?"

No...I think so....

Answer 8

>Do you agree that the value of p (length of piece of wood) must be a positive number?

If you measure the wood with a ruler, the length would not be negative.

It would be positive.

That eliminates two of the options.
