Question

A strip of wood 78 inches long is to be cut into pieces 3 3/4 inches long. How many pieces can be cut?

A. 20
B. 21
C. 12
D. 26

Answer 1

78 Divided by 3.75 is20.8 which is 20 pieces because you cant have 8/10 of a piece if not it wouldn't be a piece so its A

Answer 2

Its neither because the answer is a decimal but if rounded to the closest whole number it would be 21 but the real answer is 20.8.
