Question

Hank has a board that is 6 2/3 feet long. He cuts the board into equal pieces that are each 5/6 foot long . How many 5/6 foot pieces can Hank cut from the board

Answer 1

you have to do 2times 5 and 5 3 times 6 and add the 6 then divide by halves

Answer 2

6 2/3 = 20/3
20/3 x2 = 40/6
1. 40/6 - 5/6 = 35/6
2. 35/6 - 5/6 = 30/6
3. 30/6 - 5/6 = 25/6
4. 25/6 - 5/6 = 20/6
5. 20/6 - 5/6 = 15/6
6. 15/6 - 5/6 = 10/6
7. 10/6 - 5/6 = 5/6
8. 5/6 - 5/6 = 0/6

Answer is 8.
