Question

Joanna has a board that is 6ft long. she cuts it into pieces that are each 1/4 foot long. write an equation to represent the number of pieces she cut.

Answer 1

The board is 6 feet long, and there is 12 inches in a foot. This means the board is 72 inches long. Each piece she cuts is 1/4 (3) inches long. This means if we do 72/3, we see the number of pieces Joanna cuts is 24.

Answer 2

Answer: x (1/4) = 6

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation.

The length of each piece (1/4ft) multiplied by the number of pieces cut, will be equal to the total length of the board.

Mathematically speaking

x (1/4) = 6

Solving for x

x = 6 / (1/4) =24 pieces
