shadowlegendx · Answer

12 1/8 feet = 12.125 feet
1 13/16 feet = 1.8125 feet

hocuspucus292333393 · Answer

does it equal 5

shadowlegendx · Answer

$$12.125 = 1.8125x$$

12.125 is the large piece of wood
1.8125 is the measurement he wants the pieces in
x is the amount of 1.8125 feet pieces

shadowlegendx · Answer

We solve for x by dividing both sides by 1.8125

shadowlegendx · Answer

x = 6.68965517241
