I don't think so.... Does it need to be a fraction?

Answer 7

yes... if possible...

Answer 8

Okay, one sec.

Answer 9

I actually have no idea how to convert the foot/inches into a fraction. It's been awhile since I've done this. Is there an answer choices?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

3/4 :)

Answer 12

3m=3*100=300 cm
each piece=300/4=75 cm

Answer 13

If the length of the whole plank is given in metric units (3 m), then the same unit applies to the length of each of the 4 pieces into with the 3 m plank is sawed.

So you do NOT have to do any conversion.

Rather, you need to divide 3 m by 4. Show your work and include the correct unit of measurement.
