Question

You are building a shed with your mother. A piece of wood is 4 feet long. How many 2/3 sections can you cut out of each piece of wood?

Answer 1

Answer: We can cut 6
`\frac23` sections out of each piece of wood.

Explanation:

Given: A piece of wood is 4 feet long.

Number of
`\frac23` sections =
`4/\frac23`

`=4*(3)/(2)\ \ \ \ [\because (a)/(b)/(c)/(d)=(a)/(b)*(d)/(c)]\\\\=2*3\\\\=6`

i.e. Number of
`\frac23` sections = 6

Hence, we can cut 6
`\frac23` sections out of each piece of wood.
