Jessica Allison · Answer 1

So 8 divided by 3=8/3

we can split it into

8/3=3/3+3/3+2/3=1+1+2/3=2+2/3

answer is 2 and 2/3 feet long

if you want it in inches

8 times 12=96

96/3=32

32 inches

2 and 2/3 feet or 32 inches

It rounds to 2.67 feet long

You divide 8 by 3 and you will get 2.6666 ... So you round to the tenth or hundreth
