Question

Ricardo has a wooden board that measures 5 feet in length. How many 1/4 foot long pieces can Ricardo cut from the board

Answer 1

20 pieces of wood

Explanation:

5 divided by 1/4: 20

another way to look at it is if there are 4 of these pieces in a foot, and there are 5 feet, 4 times 5 is also 20.
