Question

Joe Has an 8 foot long board. He needs to cut it into 9 equal length parts.How many feet long should each section of the board be?

Answer 1

To find out how long each section should be, do 8/9, which is approximately 0.8.
Each section should be 0.8 feet long.

Answer 2

8 feet = 96 inches

96 = 90 + 6

90/9 = 10
6/9 = 2/3

Each piece should be 10 2/3 inches long or 8/9 feet long.
