Jeremy is cutting a board into pieces that are 1 2/3 feet long. The board is 14 1/4 feet long. How many 1 2/3 - feet long pieces will Jeremy be able to cut?

Total number of 1 2/3 feet long pieces that will be cut=8 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board=length per piece*number of pieces

where;

Total length of board=14 1/4 feet

Length per piece=1 2/3 feet

Number of pieces=n

Replacing;

14 1/4=1 2/3*n

(57/4) = (5/3) n

n = (57/4) * (3/5) = 8.55

Total number of 1 2/3 feet long pieces that will be cut=8 pieces

Its 8
