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?

Respuesta :

Answer: We can cut 6 [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] sections  out of each piece of wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A piece of wood is 4 feet long.

Number of [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] sections = [tex]4\div\dfrac23[/tex]

[tex]=4\times\dfrac{3}{2}\ \ \ \ [\because \dfrac{a}{b}\div\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times\dfrac{d}{c}]\\\\=2\times3\\\\=6[/tex]

i.e. Number of [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] sections = 6

Hence, we can cut 6 [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] sections  out of each piece of wood.
