Question

Trinity will cut a peice of wood that is 2 1/2 feet long into 1/4 foot sections. How many sections will result

Answer 1

10 sections I did 2.5 / .25 = 10

Answer 2

To find out how many sections will result from cutting a 2 1/2 feet long piece of wood into 1/4 foot sections, we need to divide the length of the wood by the length of each section.

First, we need to convert 2 1/2 feet into a mixed number with a common denominator.

2 1/2 = 5/2 feet

Now we can divide the length of the wood by the length of each section:

(5/2 feet) / (1/4 feet) = (5/2) * (4/1) = (5 * 4) / (2 * 1) = 20/2 = 10 sections

Therefore, cutting a 2 1/2 feet long piece of wood into 1/4 foot sections will result in 10 sections.

Let me know if this explains it correctly! ¯\_㋡_/¯
